Instructions

Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and melt.
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk on top of the butter and whisk to combine.
Add in the chocolate chips and stir.
Microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring between each burst for 10 seconds until the mixture is melted.
Remove and add in the extract. Stir.
Spoon into the prepared 8x8 pan and smooth to make the fudge even.
Top with the crunch chips or crushed peppermint.
Cover and place in the fridge for about 2–3 hours until set up.

Notes

Note 1: Make sure you have sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk. Do not use a lower fat version or it won’t set up correctly.

Storage: Store leftover fudge in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Let it sit at room temp for a few minutes before eating if frozen.
