Easiest Fudge in the World by A Baker's Field Guide to Holiday Candy & Confections!

This really is the easiest fudge in the world!

2 pounds bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk

*Directions*

1. Thoroughly coat all inside surfaces of a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler or in large bowl in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in condensed milk and vanilla extract. The mixture should be completely smooth.

3. Scrape fudge into prepared pan. Use a rubber spatula or your finger to coax fudge into corners and into an even layer.

4. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm enough to cut. Cut into 40 squares (8 x 5).
