mmmmm fudge!

For some reason, Valentine's day always makes me think of chocolate and cinnamon. Maybe something about the traditional association the holiday and the spice have with red, I guess. But anyway, I tested out Cinnamon Chocolate Fudge, microwave style of course, as a gift for the valentine.

Recipe:

Butter - for the pan

1 14oz can sweetened, condensed milk

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 bag chocolate chips (I used Milk chocolate... the recipe says semi sweet)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions:

Butter the inside of an 8X8 pan. Line with parchment or wax paper, allowing the excess to hang over the edges. Combine the milk, cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate chips, and butter. Microwave for 2-3 minutes until the chips melt. The butter won't be melted all the way, but keep stirring - the chocolate is hot enough that it'll work its way in. Pour into the pan and refrigerate for 3 hours. Finally, pull the parchment out of the pan and cut your fudge. Easy AND delicious :)
