Instructions

  1. Prepare a baking pan using a non-stick cooking spray and set it aside. Use an 8x8 inch square tin.
  2. Mix the cocoa, sugar, and milk inside the medium saucepan. Stir the mix and blend. Bring this mixture to a boil and keep stirring constantly. Minimize the heat and let it simmer without stirring.
  3. Cook until when you drop the mixture in a cup of water, it forms a softball. You can check how the ball feels in your hand to confirm its consistency. It has to flatten when pressed between the hands.
  4. Remove it from the heat. Add in the vanilla and butter. Beat the mixture using a wooden spoon up to a point where the fudge has no sheen. Next, pour it to the pan you had prepared earlier and let it cool.
  5. Prepare another 4x4 inch pan and line it with a foil and leave a bit of it hanging over the edges and then place it aside.
  6. Using a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl in which you can combine some butter and the chocolate chips, heat it in 30-second bursts until the mixture melts and becomes smooth. Stir it in between the bursts.
  7. Once everything is melted to a smooth mix, stir in the sifted powdered sugar quickly. Make sure the sugar is sifted to avoid any clumps. Also, add in the milk and pour the mix in a prepared pan. Place it in the fridge for several hours and allow it to set.
  8. Prepare another 8x8 baking pan. Line the pan with foil and let some of it hang over the edge before placing it aside.
  9. Put the chocolate chips inside a heat-proof bowl. Put the container of frosting inside the microwave and heat for 20 or 30 seconds, making sure that it melts and becomes hot. Pour the melted frosting over the chocolate allowing the heat from the frosting to melt the chocolate. Stir it until the melted chocolate is smooth. Pour the mixture into the foil-lined pan and sprinkle. Put inside the refrigerator and allow it to set before you cut it into one-inch squares.
