Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8-inch (20cm) square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.
3. Add the Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped musk sticks, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until the musk sticks are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
4. Pour into the Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
5. Chill: Place the fudge in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until it is set firm.
6. Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and, if desired, sprinkle with edible glitter or sprinkles for a fun touch.
7. Enjoy: Serve the fudge immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
