I always love backed goods as Christmas gifts... At least for friends... It's something the whole family can enjoy. I found this super easy fudge recipe on Cooking For Engineers and had to share.Easy Chocolate Fudge
16 oz. (450 g) chocolate chips
4 Tbs. (57 g) butter
14 fl. oz. (415 mL) sweetened condensed milk
Fill a small pot with about an inch of water and bring it to a boil. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat so the water is barely simmering.
Place a metal bowl on top of the pot to make a bain-marie. (If you have a double boiler, use it instead.) Make sure the bottom of the bowl is suspended above the water level itself. Poor the butter, chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in the bowl. And gently melt and stir till combined.
While the ingredients are gently heating, butter an 8 in. square baking dish. Once the pan is buttered, lay two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper down onto the buttered surface. The sheets should be longer than the container (a little more than twelve inches should be fine) and should be laid down perpendicular to each other. The butter will help keep the plastic wrap in place while you pour the fudge and after the fudge is set, you can use the ends that overflow the container to lift out the fudge.
Once the chocolate mixture is melted, If you with to add fancy components (like chopped walnuts, peanut butter for swirling, etc.) do so at this point.
Pour the fudge into the baking dish. Use a spatula to scrape the bowl clean. Level the fudge with your spatula and place the fudge in the fridge for about 2 hours or until set.
