I’m having a major craving for fudge. Are you?! If you aren’t already, you will by the end of this post. This recipe is simple, but decadent. All it takes it dark chocolate melted with creamy sweetened condensed milk, sprinkled with coarse sea salt. The only really hard thing this recipe requires is patience. The fudge should setup in the fridge overnight or for a handful of hours, so you will have to wait a bit!
