Hello and welcome back to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am your host Matt Taylor. Today I am going to show you how to make Fudge, mmm yummy, love me some fudge. This fudge recipe is super easy to make, and only takes 3 ingredients, couldn’t be easier. One of my favorite treats to eat during the holidays is fudge, so here we go simple easy fudge recipe, if I can do it, you can do it, let’s get started. All right lets go ahead and take a large bowl, microwave safe, I am using a pyrex one, now we take one can of sweetened condensed milk, and this can is 14 ounces or 396 grams. Pour it in, use a spatula to get it all out. Now we take a quarter cup this is about 56 to 60 grams of butter, go ahead and put that in there. And now we are going to go ahead and heat this up in the microwave, until it gets really hot and the butter melts, umm I am going to do it for 2 to 3 minutes, it might, it will depend on your microwave, mine is a 1200 watt microwave, if you have an 1100 watt or 1000 watt it might take a little bit longer, just go ahead and start with 2 minutes and see how hot it gets we want it to be fairly hot, and the butter melted. All right now that our butter is melted, it took about 2 minutes and 15 seconds in my microwave. I am going to go ahead and add my chocolate, now you can use all milk chocolate, or you could use all semi-sweet, or all dark chocolate, but you can do like I said, you can do whatever combination that you want, it will be awesome. Let’s go ahead and pour that in there, and then we are just going to let this sit for a moment in our mixture, just let it sit for about 3 or 4 minutes, and then we are going to stir it all together. All right once we have given our chocolate a chance to sit there in the hot condensed milk we are going to go ahead and start stirring it around, now if you want to add more ingredients, you certainly can, at this stage you can add nuts, like walnuts, and you can add um vanilla extract if you like. All right I am loving this consistency right there, that is exactly what you want it to be like, it is like a really really thick frosting. All right, and now, let’s go ahead and take, this is an 8 by 11 glass pan, or you can use a metal one, 9 by 9, whatever shape that you want to do, and what I did is a took some parchment paper or baking paper in here, and to get it to stay on the bottom, optionally I just sprayed it with some kitchen spray, and it helps it to stick. Let’s go ahead and pour this all in there, and you want to work fairly quickly it is not super necessary, to um like rush, but you do want to work fairly quickly, because it cools down pretty quick, get it all in there, and then just go ahead and spread it out...
