Notes

TIP: Either grease the pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper. If you line the pan with parchment paper, you can easily lift the fudge out of the pan after it sets up and slice it.
For this recipe, the dark chocolate chips can be switched out for milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch, or your favorite flavor.
