Now, flash forward to last year. I suggest to Isaiah that we give cookies and fudge as gifts again and Isaiah agrees so I tell him he can make the fudge again and I got a funny look. Not only did he not remember how to make the super simple fudge...he didn't remember ever making it before! And I though my memory was bad!
So this year he suggests making fudge again and he does remember making it last year but he doesn't remember the recipe. And I have to admit that I don't remember the exact recipe either so I fire up Foodgawker again and find the same recipe we'd used in the past. And here it is:
1 (340g) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (340g) bag milk chocolate chips
OR
2 (340g) bags semi-sweet chocolate chips (what we used)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon flavor extract (we used peppermint)
dash of salt
Festive sprinkles (we used mint flavored candy cane shaped sprinkles)
Over low heat mix the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a sauce pan. When the chips START to melt, add the flavor extract. Once the flavor extract is mixed in add a dash of salt. Stir, stir, stir constantly. the chips will melt completely and it will start to look like a thick dough. Pour warm fudge into a parchment or wax paper lined square dish (about 9x9). Sprinkle your sprinkles while it's still warm. Cool. Serve. Viola! Fudge.
