Here’s a quick recipe for Paula Deen’s 5-Minute Fudge:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
- Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir well.
- If the chocolate chips are not fully melted, microwave the mixture for an additional 15-30 seconds and stir again. Repeat this process until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Once the mixture is smooth, stir in the chopped nuts (if using) and vanilla extract.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature until it is set, usually for about 2 hours. You can also place it in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process.
- Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the baking dish using the aluminum foil. Peel off the foil and cut the fudge into squares or desired shapes.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
That’s it! You now have Paula Deen’s 5-Minute Fudge ready to enjoy.
