Ingredients:

Let’s get the good stuff ready:

• 3 cups sugar-free chocolate chips (dark or milk, or a mix of both for extra pizzazz)
• 12 oz evaporated milk (or heavy cream if you’re going the keto route)
• 1 tablespoon granular sugar substitute (like monk fruit, erythritol, or allulose)
• ¼ cup butter, melted (because, well, butter makes everything better)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or go wild with almond or peppermint extract!)
• Optional: Chopped nuts, sugar-free sprinkles, or more chocolate chips for that extra crunch or flair

Directions:

1. Prep the pan: Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with foil, making sure it hangs over the sides so you can lift the fudge out like a dessert ninja. Grease the foil lightly to avoid any sticky situations.
2. Melt the magic: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and evaporated milk (or heavy cream if you’re keto-fancy). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Try not to eat it all yet—patience, my friend.
3. Add the rest: Stir in the melted butter, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract. Give it another 30-second zap in the microwave to make sure everything's nice and cozy.
4. Time for extras: Feeling fancy? Now’s the time to fold in some chopped nuts or extra chocolate chips. Maybe even a sprinkle of sugar-free sprinkles if you’re feeling whimsical.
5. Let it set: Pour the chocolatey goodness into the prepared pan and smooth it out. Pop it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until it’s firm enough to cut into delicious squares.
6. Serve and devour: Once the fudge is set, use the foil to lift it out of the pan. Cut it into squares and bask in your dessert glory.
