Food Snob in Israel's Note:

This is a fun fudge to do with the kids, because of it's ease and rich/creamy flavor. Prep time does not include refrigeration.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 25 pieces

• 1 (450 -500 g) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (300 g) bag chocolate chips
• 1 (100 g) chocolate candy bars
• 1/2-3/4 cup peanut butter (optional)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 dash vanilla

Directions:

1. Melt condensed milk and chocolate in microwave (using microwave safe bowl) for about a minute and a half or until the milk is hot and watery and the chocolate chips are beginning to melt. DO NOT OVERHEAT (will burn chocolate and leave a clumpy/grainy mixture with a bad taste).
2. Take bowl out and stir until mixture is smooth and well blended.
3. Add peanut butter for peanut butter/chocolate fudge OR add salt and vanilla. Or add all three, depending on your tastes.
4. Stir until all is well mixed, smooth, even and shiny.
5. Pour mixture into an UNGREASED foil lined cake/brownie pan.
6. Put in fridge until mixture is hard (overnight is best).
7. Take out of fridge and cut into squares (or other desired shapes) and put into a Tupperware or other covered/airtight container.
8. Freeze if desired.
9. Or just EAT and ENJOY!

The first time I made this it was so easy and came out so good that I have played with it a few times. I added a tablespoon of instant coffee, and it was soooo good. Another time I substituted white chocolate chips with the peanut butter to keep the peanut butter color, and it came out really yummy. Another time I added miniature marshmallows. Big hit with the kids. You can't go wrong with this recipe. So good and easy!

I've made this recipe for almost forever, but never added the extra 100 grams of chocolate. I tried it out with a bar of chocolate that had some crispy rice crunching around in it, and it added an interesting touch to the fudge. Thanks for the tip!
