Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by lining your baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil—it makes removing the fudge so much easier later! Next, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. I love watching the chocolate melt in the microwave, so I usually heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until everything is smooth and glossy. The aroma fills my kitchen and is absolutely divine! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
