🔪 Instructions
Check out how to make Rolo turtle fudge with these simple step-by-step instructions:

Melt your chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a medium sized saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until melted.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the Rolos in the pan.
Spread it out to the outer edges of the pan, into an even layer.

🍴 Recipe Tips
This fudge sets up very quickly so it's best to start with everything premeasured, foiled, and ready to go to help cut down on time waste later.
You can add in as many Rolos as you want, but remember that they will shift as you pour the melted chocolate over the top.
These fudge pieces can be served at room temperature or chilled.
💭 FAQs
This easy turtle fudge can be kept stored in the fridge if desired, but it's not necessary. Fudge can last several weeks at room temperature if kept stored in an airtight container. Cold air technically dries out the fudge faster.
If you keep your fudge properly stored in an airtight container, you can expect a shelf life of 4-6 weeks! That's plenty of time to enjoy a little chocolate fix daily.
Overcooked fudge will become grainy, crumbly, or hard. This is why it's important to stir the melting chocolate constantly and keep an eye on it. You want it to come together and be smooth, but you don't need to cook it beyond that point.
