Chocolate Fudge

Here is a simple idea for those bridal or even wedding favors….chocolate fudge!  It is easy to make and all you need to do is get a pretty little box and ribbon to dress it up to make it look great on the tables.

Just boil a medium bag of chocolate chips with a can of condensed milk and a teaspoon of vanilla.  Stir in a saucepan on medium until it is completely melted.  Then line an 8X8 pan with wax paper and pour it in there.  Put it in the fridgerator for around 4 hours before you cut it into little square.  Great for the holidays too!
