Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I'm going to let you all in on a little secret. Fudge is one of the easiest things in the world to make and it never fails to delight a chocolate lover. My favorite recipe requires just three ingredients - 1 pound of chocolate, 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and half a stick of butter (you can also add a couple of glugs of booze for a more adult treat). Sure, there are more complex recipes that require you to work harder, but everyone I've ever served this quick fudge to happily laps it up and then comes back for more.
Simply melt the ingredients together in double boiler until smooth and combined. While it's melting, line a 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper. When the chocolate mixture is melted, pour into the lined pan and smooth with spatula. Let sit until cool (I put it into a pan of cold water to speed the process) and then refrigerate for at least two hours to let it set. Cutting while cold will ease the process and keep the cuts smooth. Give to chocolate loving friends and family in small boxes or tins.

Here's an even easier, microwave version: combine 2 cups chocolate chips and a can of sweetened condensed milk in a Pyrex measuring cup and microwave on high 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Microwave 30 seconds longer if the chips aren't completely melted after the 2 minutes. Stir in 1 tsp. vanilla extract and spread evenly in a wax paper- or foil-lined 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish. Cover and chill in the fridge at least 2 hours.
No cleanup is necessary because of the wax paper or foil lining -- just lift it out of the dish, cut into squares and enjoy! It can be kept in the fridge, frozen or at room temperature.
