Unveiling the Easy Fudge Recipe: The Procedure

Now that we have our ingredients, let's take a look at how this magic unfolds.

Step 1: First, prepare your stage. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set it aside. This is where our fudge will rest and take shape.

Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, place your white chocolate chips and microwave for 2 minutes. Remember to pause every 30 seconds and stir the chips to prevent any burning. The chips should turn creamy and smooth when stirred, signaling they're ready for action.

Step 3: Now for the second star of our show, the Dulce de Leche. Immediately add it to the melted chocolate and stir until it's fully combined. The mixture will become thick, but don't worry - that's exactly what we want.

Step 4: It's time to transfer our fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Using a spatula, flatten and spread the mixture so it's even throughout the pan.

Step 5: All that's left now is to let it chill. Pop it into the fridge for 2 hours or until it's set, then slice into 1-inch pieces and serve.

Pro Tips to Master the 2 Ingredient Caramel Fudge

Here's some additional advice to ensure you get the perfect fudge every single time:

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 3 months.
• Be wary of the chocolate-to-caramel ratio. If your fudge comes out hard, there was too much chocolate. If it comes out gummy or too soft, there wasn’t enough chocolate.
• Nestle chocolate chips are a favorite because of their consistent outcome.
• This fudge must not be heated over 240 degrees. Overheating can cause separation and a waxy appearance.
• If you can’t find Dulce de Leche, other thick caramel sauces can work. Just avoid those that use water.

While this recipe focuses on the simple flavors of caramel and white chocolate, you're more than welcome to add nuts, dried fruit, or even sprinkles for an extra touch.
