Ah, that sounds like one of those dangerously simple desserts! A 3-ingredient “block” treat is often fudge, peanut butter squares, or coconut bars. Here’s a classic version that matches your description:
3-Ingredient Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or dark)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until smooth and fully melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Cut into blocks and enjoy!
Tips:
- Add a pinch of salt or chopped nuts for extra flavor.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge; fudge lasts 1–2 weeks.
💡 Variations:
- Peanut butter fudge: Swap half the chocolate for peanut butter.
- Coconut bars: Fold in shredded coconut before chilling.
- Nutella fudge: Replace chocolate chips with Nutella for a hazelnut twist.
This is the kind of recipe you could almost eat entirely by yourself, as you discovered!
