Amy's tip
The mixture will be thick and may be difficult to spread in the pan. Shake it back and forth and use a rubber spatula to even it out as best you can.

FAQ
If you don't want to purchase vegan sweetened condensed milk, or it's unavailable where you live, you can make your own by simmering full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream and cane sugar until thick.

If you would like to make this vegan fudge in a microwave instead of on the stove, add the chocolate chips to a large microwave safe bowl. Pour the vegan sweetened condensed milk over the chips. Microwave for 60 seconds, then stir the mixture. Microwave for 60 more seconds and stir again.
