Easy Fudge

Submitted by Dason

Ingredients

16 oz container of cake frosting (your choice of flavor) 12 oz bag of chocolate chips

Directions

  1. The great thing about this recipe is the possibilities are endless. 
  2. You decide what flavors would go well together, then you melt the chips over medium heat. 
  3. Remove from heat & stir in the frosting. 
  4. Pour into a container (8″x8″ makes for a thickness of about an inch, which seems reasonable for fudge) & chill in the fridge until set.

Chef’s Note: You would think that with how simple this is, it would taste “cheap” or not “real” but let me tell you – it’s INCREDIBLE. So far I’ve tried Butterscotch (chips) & Dark Chocolate Fudge (frosting), & also I’ve done White Chocolate (chips) & Strawberry (frosting). Both were divine, & taste every bit as rich & decadent as a much more complicated recipe or something that would cost $10 a pound at a gourmet shoppe. Enjoy!
