Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz Dark chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Orange zest
- 1 tsp Orange extract
- 0.25 tsp Sea salt
- 2 tbsp Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, dark chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the chocolate chips and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the orange zest, orange extract, and sea salt until evenly incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle the top with decorative sprinkles or edible glitter for a festive touch.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 16 even squares or desired serving sizes.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
