Everyone enjoys fudge, especially around the holidays, so I created this easy recipe. Store it in the refrigerator for a refreshingly cool treat.—Vicki VanValkenburg, Demorest, Georgia

Ingredients

1 teaspoon plus 4 tablespoons butter, divided

1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk, divided

Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine white baking chocolate and remaining butter. Microwave on high for 40-50 seconds; stir until smooth. Stir in the cream of tartar, remaining milk and candy. Spread over chocolate layer.

So a friend told me that I probably used condensed milk instead of sweetened condensed milk, and she was right. I tried it again with the right stuff, and it worked. This is a very good recipe. I was very happy with the new results!

I made2 separate batches, the pictures looked so good! Neither one got firm. The next morning, both were still liquid. Maybe the cream of tartar needed to be cooked in the white chocolate? I was very disappointed.

This is a new family favorite! I made these as part of an assortment of cookies and candies given as gifts this year. They look so festive and the flavor is outstanding. We'll definitely be making these again...only we'll keep some for ourselves next time!
