Candy Bar Fudge

Before you say it, yes, I have noticed a trend in my posts up 'til now: lots of desserts. I promise I will post some more substantial, and healthy, recipes later (I swear we don't just eat candy at our house), but I just had to share this super easy and YUMMY gem. I found the original recipe on a can of Pillsbury frosting, tweaked it a bit, and discovered that making fudge can be really easy... and very delicious!

Ingredients:

1 (12oz) package of semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 (16 oz) can of milk chocolate frosting (NOT the whipped variety)

approx. 4 roughly chopped Snickers bars (or a "bunch" of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, again roughly chopped)

Directions:

1. Line an 8x8 pan with foil, extending the foil over the sides of the pan.

2. Spray foil very lightly with no-stick cooking spray.

3. In a medium sauce pan, melt the chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly. Resist the urge turn the heat up; scorched chocolate doesn't suit this recipe well...

4. When chocolate chips are melted, remove from heat and immediately stir in frosting and chopped candy (if you want, reserve a couple of tablespoons of the candy bits to sprinkle on top of the fudge).

5. Working quickly, spread mixture into the foil-lined pa, spreading it evenly.

6. If you reserved some of the candy pieces, sprinkle those on top of the fudge.

7. Allow fudge to set for at least an hour before using the foil to remove it from the pan.

8. Slice fudge into squares and enjoy!
