Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Grease an 8x8-inch square pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir to combine.
Continue microwaving in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes total depending on your microwave.
Stir in the orange extract, orange zest, and a pinch of salt until everything is evenly incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Once firm, cut the fudge into 16 squares with a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
