Salted Creamy Fudge
Makes 32 servings (Weight Watchers - 2 points each)
Ingredients:
10oz bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped (or use chips)
1 (14-oz) can sweetened fat-free condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch coarse sea salt
1/2 tsp flakes sea salt or finishing salt
1. Line 8-inch-square baking pan with plastic wrap, leaving 2-inch overhang. Smooth out wrinkles.
2. Combine chocolate, condensed milk, vanilla, and coarse sea salt in large heavy saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Transfer fudge to prepared pan, spread evenly with rubber spatula. Let cool. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
3. Uncover fudge; remove from pan by lifting overhanging plastic wrap. Invert on cutting board; remove wrap. Cut fudge into 8 strips; then cut each strip crosswise into 8 pieces. If making ahead, cover and chill up to 2 weeks.
4. To serve, return fudge to room temperature. Sprinkle top evenly with flake sea salt.
