If you’re looking for an easy, last minute dessert to whip up for Thanksgiving tomorrow, here is one of my tried and true favorites. It’s so simple to make, the actual recipe is called “Easy Fudge” and only contains 4 ingredients (5 if you want the nuts). I make it every year, and it is delicious. My niece requested it this year, so of course I had to make a batch.

Easy Fudge

(from my mother’s Betty Crocker cookbook)

*1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

*1 package (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

*1 square (1 oz) unsweetened chocolate

*1 teaspoon vanilla

*1 1/2 cups chopped nuts, if desired

Butter square pan. Heat milk, chocolate chips, and unsweetened chocolate over low heat, stirring continuously until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla (and nuts if desired). Spread in pan and refrigerate until firm.

So easy. So good. You should make it. I made it this morning and am now off to make two pies!
