These
little fudge bites are so easy to make and so versatile. You can use
any type of chocolate you like, from dark to white. Even spike them with different liquors! These are great
to make for parties, work/school, or to give out as gifts because they
can be served and packages up so easily for a perfect little treat.
You
can cut the traditional squares of fudge, or pour it into cupcake
liners (I used mini ones) for perfectly portioned, self-packaging,
bite-sized pieces.
To
make it even simpler, you can even use the microwave instead of the
stovetop to melt the ingredients, according to the directions on your
package of chocolate chips!
Simple Cinnamon Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients
- 3 cups (18 oz.) dark, semisweet or bittersweet chocolate*
- 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- shaped confetti sprinkles, optional
*You can use 4 cup (24 oz.) white instead and omit the butter for a white chocolate fudge. Note that using white chocolate will result in a less firm fudge compared to a semisweet based fudge.
Directions
Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment or wax paper, so the paper hangs over the sides for easy lifting to remove the fudge.
Combined
chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, butter, cinnamon and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir
over low heat until about 3/4 of the chocolate has melted. Remove from
heat and keep stirring until chocolate has completely melted. Spread evenly into prepared pan with a spatula to
smooth out top. Place in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours until fudge is
firm and set. Remove by lifting the parchment/wax paper flaps over the
side of the pan, up and out. Cut into 1-inch squares and place in mini
cupcake liners for serving. Add sprinkles for garnish if
desired.
