Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cubed

Method
 

  1. Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.

Notes

Tip 1: For clean cuts, run a sharp knife under hot water and wipe it dry between each slice.
Tip 2: Use a high-quality hot cocoa mix for the best flavor. A dark chocolate or gourmet cocoa mix will yield a richer fudge.
