Easy Salted Fudge

Sorry I've been MIA. I had a certification exam for NY State and started a new student teaching placement all in one week. A quick shout out goes to my dad, who turns the big 6-0 today! And a Go Big Blue to the Giants!!! Speaking of Giants and my dad, I made this recipe for both celebrations this weekend and it was quick and yum.  Only 4 ingredients!!! 

Makes about 25 pieces of delicious fudge

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)

1 14oz can of condensed milk*

*fun fact: condensed milk is simply milk that has had the water removed and replaced by sugar, yum)
2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp vanilla extract

Sea Salt for sprinkling

In a small pot, as shown, boil about 1/3 cup of water (enough to cover the bottom of the pot by about an inch)

Meanwhile, in a glass bowl, combine chips, milk, and vanilla

Stir until mixed and place bowl on top of boiling pot

Allow the steam to melt the mixture

Continuously stir for about 7 minutes or until mixed

While cooking, butter a square baking dish, then line with parchment paper

Have enough paper hanging over so that you can easily lift out later

Pour fudge into baking dish and sprinkle with salt

 Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours

Remove from baking dish and slice
