Notes

How to microwave 5-minute fudge: you can make fudge in the microwave instead of using the stove. Heat chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring, until smooth and creamy. Stir in sweetened condensed milk.
How to store fudge: Fudge can be stored on the counter in an airtight container for at least 7 days. It's never lasted longer than that in our home (we eat it too fast!).
Mint Extracts
Peppermint extract OR mint extract can be used in this recipe. I prefer the flavor of peppermint extract.
