Ingredients

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips (for coating)

Directions

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
  2. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir until smooth. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and powdered sugar until well combined.
  4. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to shape.
  6. Using a teaspoon or a small scoop, shape the fudge mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Place the fudge balls in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
  8. Meanwhile, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  9. Remove the fudge balls from the freezer and dip each one into the melted milk chocolate, coating them completely.
  10. Place the coated fudge bonbons back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
  11. Once the chocolate coating is set, transfer the fudge bonbons to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
