I refuse to go. They terrify me. It's not the zombie or ghost make up that scares me, I just really hate people jumping out at me. And I dislike being touched by strangers with masks on even more. I went to a haunted house when I was 10 or 11 (yes it was at my day care, and yes I am sure it was wimpy) but it freaked me out. Someone jumped from behind me and grabbed my shoulders and since then I have refused to go. I don't even like scary movies (speaking of scary movies, was it necessary to make a Saw 6?)
So while you are having fun (or not having fun) at haunted houses and scary movies this Halloween I will be eating fudge!
This is a basic, rich and sweet chocolate fudge perfect for any occasion or holiday. I had a few candy corns and pumpkins, mini M&Ms and pecans. And you know what I did? I threw it all in! 
yield: 16 pieces
11.5 oz bag Chocolate, semi-sweet or milk chocolate
14 oz can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 tsp Vanilla
1 TBS Butter
1/2 tsp Salt
Mini M&M's, Pecans, Candy Corn, optional
1. Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a small sauce pot and turn on medium heat. Add the chocolate and stir with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is melted. Add butter and vanilla and mix until creamy and smooth.
2. Take chocolate mixture off the heat and stir in your 'add ins'. I stirred in most of my add ins but left some to decorate the top of the fudge.
3. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment or plastic wrap and pour in chocolate mixture. Decorate with your add ins and put in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
4. When cutting remove the fudge from the pan and cut straight through with your knife. Clean your knife between cuts to make cutting easier.

OOOOOHHH, fun fudge! And lovin your new banner. Spiffy.
So cute-- love that you tossed in some candy with it! I agree about the haunted houses, scary movies, etc-- never been a fan and avoid them at all costs!
Saw 6 was not necessary...but whatever sells, right?
I like the look of this fudge. I've never made it before but this sounds really simple so I might have to : )
Sounds great! I left you a blog award here:

This fudge is wonderfully festive! I love the amalgamation of Halloween candies!
Oh how fun!!! Im loving the candy corn thrown in!
that looks very fun and creative. I bet kids will really love them
Delicious! And colourful! Although we don't really celebrate halloween here, I think some chocolate devouring will be in order :D
Absolutely love the photos. Looks fun and creative. I'm sure the kids will love them with all the colors.
Looks great, very colourful.
These fudge look like FUN! I love candy corn, so why not throw it in the fudge? Awesome. And I agree, did they need to make a Saw 6? I mean, maybe I'm missing out (I haven't seen Saw 1-5, so...), but I'm not much for slasher films, much less multiple sequels of slasher films.
i love sweet that is really sweet.
your fudge must be very sweet and fun to make!
Great idea and beautiful photos! This looks like such a fun recipe for kids to help out with- love it!
Nice idea for the holidays! Thank you for sharing.
haha I can't do scary either!! I will happily stay home and eat fudge with you :)
Holy wow!!! This looks great. I gotta try it.

Oh this looks delicious and actually easy to make - thanks for the recipe!
This is GENIUS!!!
What an adorable idea!
wow
the idea of candy corn and other stuff like that in fudge seems SO GOOD.
MUST try.
I like putting things in fudge...so fun and easy to mess around with =)
Congrats for being on Top 9 today
Hmmm I thought I commented already - love this idea! And congrats on Top 9!
awesome fudge! I love the idea of adding an assortment of our favorite Halloween candy into the fudge.
I love this! I went to a pumpkin festival this weekend where I bought a pumpkin-cream-filled crepe and had no idea that it'd come out covered in whipped cream and all the candy corn and candy pumpkins I could handle. I'm convinced now that these make everything better.
i just made a batch and it's sitting pretty in the fridge now. licking the spoon was an exercise in absolute BLISS :):)
to anyone making this: please don't be tempted to add more butter when the mixture looks a bit too thick! and use fine salt-- i used coarse and i think there are going to be a few somewhat-too-salty surprises in there.
really really fast too-- had been worried that i would not have time to study and keep an appointment but everything was done in under an hour.
thank you natalie!!
Love the way this looks with the halloween candies. What a great idea for other holidays too. (Pink for Valentine's Day w/red candies, etc.)

Omg fudge is my weakness, YUM!
This is the cutest fudge ever! I love how you cut into it and see a surprise- more candy corn or pumpkins. Great idea.
beautiful! absolutely divine, and those candy additions make it such a festive treat!
this would be perfect for my sweet celebrations event on my blog!:)
I'm with you..I can't do haunted houses!! I scream so loud and so often that I lose my voice for days.
Your fudge looks so yummy and fun with all the candy thrown in. Lovin' it.
Love the looks of that fudge and how creative to add all the fun things. Have to try it. Thanks. I hate haunted houses too. I went to a spook Alley once in college, it was in a hallway, I found a light switch and flipped it on, kinda took the spook out of it for a minute. Ha...happy halloween without the, "boo"!
Looks awesome! Love the combination of colors :o) I really like your fresh new look!
I made that fudge on Halloween! So yumm-O! I applied the "dump-it-in" to rice krispies treats too. Same yumm-O! results.
Thanks for the recipe!
I linked to this post today on my blog.
There's a picture of the fudge and rice krispies treats I made there too.
Youre cuisine is killer!
I like the fudge better than the bundt cake idea...
By the way, great blog! (came from Cake Spy on the candy pie post)
