Sarasota'S Simple Eagle Brand Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Basic Fudge
    3 cups baking chocolate (Nestle or any brand of flavored morsels. It can be peanut butter, butterscotch, white chocolate, dar)
    1 (14 ounce) can eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract (but you don't have to just use vanilla, add any flavor you like)
    Options
    extract (Not just vanilla, such as, mint, peppermint, fruit flavors, almond, you can also use liquors such as)
    nuts
    candy cane, pieces
    marshmallows
    candied fruit
    toffee pieces
    cookie, pieces
    candy bar, pieces
    fruit preserves (not jam or jellie)
Preparation
    Fudge -- First, line a 8x8\" pan with either wax paper, parchment paper or foil (bottom and the sides). I happen to prefer parchment paper if possible.
    Microwave -- Add the Eagle Brand, flavored morsels on medium heat in the microwave for 3-6 minutes (the size bowl and your microwave can affect the cooking times). Half way through I stir and then continue cooking until creamy and smooth.
    Flavor -- Remove from the microwave and add in the flavoring and any other additions such as nuts or dried fruits, etc. Anything you want. Stir to combine.
    Add to your pan. At this point you can add some additional nuts or toppings it you want. Cover with plastic and cool in the refrigerator about 1 hour. Remove from the pan by just turning it over, it will come right out, pull off the foil, parchment paper or wax paper, and cut into squares. You can let it cool right on the counter, but I like to chill mine before cutting, it just makes it a bit easier.
    Favorites -- 1) Dark chocolate, vanilla flavor, walnuts; 2) White chocolate, amaretto flavor, almonds; 3) A layer of milk chocolate (1/2 recipe), vanilla flavor, a layer of peanut butter fudge (1/2 recipe) with 1/2 cup strawberry preserves and peanuts; 4) Milk chocolate, vanilla flavor, marshmallow cream, peanuts; 5) White chocolate, almond flavor, dried cherries; 6) Milk chocolate, peppermint flavor, mint chocolate cookies, walnuts; 7) Butterscotch, vanilla flavor, pecans; 8) White chocolate, mint flavor, candy cane pieces; 9) Mint chocolate, hazelnut flavor, white morsels to swirl in, hazelnuts; 10) White chocolate, almond flavor, PayDay candy bar crunched up; 11) White chocolate, rapsberry liquor, raspberry preserves, walnuts; 12) Dark chocolate, orange preserves, amaretto flavor, pecans.
