Foodie Friday: Crock Pot Fudge

Slow Cooker Fudge by Stephanie O'Dea

Only 4 ingredients:

2 bags of Chocolate Chips

1-14 oz can of Sweetened Condensed Milk

1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

1 Tablespoon of Butter

Pam Spray for the crock pot

Parchment/Wax paper to line the pan for easy removal

Dump all ingredients into the crock pot, stir every 30 minutes...

WITH A DRY UTENSIL...mine was damp and seized the chocolate in the pan. 

Therefore my fudge never really liquefied.

Pour into your pan. 

I had to use a pie pan because brownies were currently in my 8x8 pan. 

Chill for 4 hours and enjoy!

It seemed to go over very well at work!

The Recipe

The Ingredients

3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips 
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 tablespoon salted butter
cooking spray to spray down the crock
parchment paper or non-stick foil to line a 9 x 9 baking pan

The Directions

Use a 4-quart slow cooker. If you only have a 6-quart, that's okay, but it will melt faster, so keep an eye on your chocolate.
Spray the crock well with cooking spray (if you are using a Ninja, I'd still spray it down). 
Dump everything into the pot. Cover, and cook on high for about 1 hour, or on low for about 2 hours. Stir every 30 minutes. Once the chocolate has lost it's form and can be stirred into a liquid state, spread it out into a lined 9 x 9 baking pan.
Chill in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 4 hours) before cutting into bite-sized squares.
