Holiday Treats Everyone Loves: FUDGE!

Ok, I've been baking for the last month due to Christmas. We gave out fudge, and cookies (snicker-doodle-like) for presents this year. They are egg less and wheat free. Everyone loves the fudge because it tastes like chocolate, and they all enjoy the cookies because they have coconut in them AND chocolate! I will post the cookie recipe after I publish this fudge recipe. This is for people who want something easy to make for friends who don't eat eggs or wheat.

Here is the recipe for fudge--if you use the microwave it is extra easy to make, and it makes about 2 pounds of fudge.

Prep: 10 minutes

Chilling Time: 2 hours


3 cups vegan, carob, or any other semi-sweet chocolate chip
1 (14 oz can sweetened condensed milk--I use organic)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter (optional)

1. Use a saucepan over low heat to melt chocolate--or use microwave stirring every minuteadd the condensed milk as chocolate begins to melt--keep stirring.
2. Stir mixture until creamy and not lumpy. Add any nuts or marshmallows now.
3. Pour the mixture over a lined 9 inch square pan.
4. Chill for 2 hours. Peel off the wax paper and cut into squares. Eat.
