🌟 Ingredients Overview

Part of the magic lies in the simplicity of the ingredients:

• Sweetened milk → creamy base and natural sweetness
• Butter → richness and melt-in-your-mouth texture
• Sugar → structure and balanced sweetness
• Vanilla (or other flavorings) → warmth and depth

Variations may include powdered milk, condensed milk, or a mix of dairy products, each lending subtle differences in flavor and texture.

🥄 Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Prepare the Pan
Line a square or rectangular dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. This makes lifting and cutting the fudge much easier. Set aside.

2. Cook the Base
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sweetened milk, butter, and sugar. Place over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Stirring is essential to prevent sticking or burning.

3. Thicken the Mixture
Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy, glossy consistency. You’ll know it’s ready when it begins to pull slightly away from the sides of the pan.

4. Add Flavor & Set
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla or your chosen flavoring. Pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

5. Cool & Chill
Allow to cool at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator until fully set. Lift out using the parchment overhang and cut into neat squares.

✨ Tip: For extra flair, sprinkle toasted nuts, drizzle chocolate, or dust with cocoa before chilling.
