simple & quick homemade fudge recipe

[via]

growing up, my mom always made the most delicious christmas fudge.

the fancy type that involves caramelizing and knowing the temperature of things.

i tried doing that...once.

let's just say, i do better with a simpler recipe...

ingredients:

18 oz chocolate chips (any flavor)

14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk

1 Tbsp butter

1 splash of vanilla

*important: do NOT add extra chocolate, even 2 oz, or it'll get weird*

action plan:

1. mix all ingredients in a saucepan on low heat until melted (stir constantly)
(it won't be liquidy, just smooth-ish)

2. put wax paper in a casserole dish

3. pour the melted mixture onto the wax paper & spread it out

4. put it in the fridge

5. wait a few hours or overnight

6. remove from wax paper & cut it up

7. then, you stuff.

behold, the fudge:

the flavors: peanut butter, dark, butterscotch, white and regular.

i think it weighs about 10 lbs and is about 50 girth units.

in other news, i've been on a sugar high for the past 14 hours.

and before that i took excedrin migraine after 3 days of a gnarly headache.

and basically i felt like i was on speed.

also i watched 4 episodes of arrested development and whhhere have i been,
