Easy Cinnamon Chocolate Fudge

Who doesn't love delicious chewy fudge on their Christmas treat tray? I know I do. Chocolate fudge, vanilla fudge, peanut butter fudge, strawberry fudge...I love every kind of fudge I've tried so far. I found an idea to make fudge with cinnamon recently, so I decided to add some cinnamon to the recipe for fudge that I've made before. It doesn't taste too much like cinnamon, but it gives it a little hint of cinnamon and makes it super delicious. If you don't like cinnamon, just leave it out and you will have my recipe for an easy chocolate fudge.

Some people use a double boiler to melt their chocolate to make fudge, but I have a hard time getting that to work for me, so I just use a pan on low heat on the stove, constantly stirring to ensure the fudge doesn't burn. You can use whatever method you want.

Before you start making your fudge, grease an 8”x8” pan with butter and line it with parchment or wax paper. Then melt your butter and mix in the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and chocolate. Continue to cook this mixture over low heat until the chocolate is melted and everything is mixed together. Be sure to stir constantly to ensure this mixture doesn't burn. 

Once it is all melted and mixed together, pour it into your prepared pan. 

Cover and refrigerate for about an hour until the fudge is firm. Remove from the pan by lifting the paper out and then gently pull the paper off the fudge. Cut your fudge into bite-sized pieces. It is now ready to share with others or enjoy yourself. Store in an air-tight container in the fridge to ensure freshness for up to one week.
