- We have recently remade/re-tested this recipe to ensure ingredient accuracy in response to reader comments that the fudge doesn't set. Please see the "Tips for Success" section in the post to ensure you have the best outcome when making this recipe.
Notes
- This fudge sets softer than traditional fudge made with marshmallow creme and a candy thermometer, but it should still be firm enough to cut into clean squares.
- For the best results, use the package weights for the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk rather than measuring them by volume. Cook over low heat, stir constantly, and remove the mixture from the heat when it is smooth, glossy, and as thick as chocolate frosting.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
