HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE FUDGE?



As you know, chocolate is a very beneficial and tasty food. Almost everyone loves it and eats often. Therefore, I want to show you how to make a simply tasty sweet - chocolate fudge. I chose this video because there are just three ingredients in the receipe and the way is very simple. 

Firstly, start with getting your ingredients. All you need to have is 50 grams of unsalted butter, one can of sweet condensed milk and roughly 400 grams of chocolate bar. 

Now, get a bowl and put the unsalted butter. Then, pour the can of condensed milk. After that, put the mixture in microwave for just 2 minutes. When you take the mixture from the microwave, just give a little mix. Now, add the small pieces of chocolate. They can be milk chocolate or dark chocolate. It's up to you but with dark chocolate, the flavor is better. The mixture should be warm enough for chocolates to melt quickly. Mix again. Now, you have a mixture which looks like a chocolate puding. Then, get a baking tray and on it, put a baking paper so that the chocolate mixture can't stick to the tray. Now, pour your mixture onto the tray and smooth it down. Without waiting, put it in the fridge for 2-4 hours. After 2-4 hours, your mixture is ready to be cut. Start cutting it up in whatever size you would like to. 

Finally, your chocolate fudges are ready. You can leave them a bit more in the fridge or eat now. Yummy yummy!
