1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup butter, cubed, divided
10 slices ready-to-serve fully cooked bacon
2 packages (10 to 12 ounces each) white baking chips
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3/4 teaspoon maple flavoring
1Line a 9-in. square pan with foil; grease foil with 1 teaspoon butter. Heat bacon according to package directions. Crumble bacon and set aside.
2In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine baking chips, condensed milk, flavoring and remaining butter. Microwave on high 1 minute; stir until smooth. (If chips aren't completely melted, microwave in 10 to 20second intervals until melted; stir until smooth.) Stir in bacon; pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate, covered, 2 hours or until firm.
3Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Remove foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares.
4To Make Ahead: Store fudge, layered between waxed paper, in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve at room temperature.
5Freeze option: Wrap fudge in waxed paper, then in foil. Place in freezer containers and freeze. To thaw, bring wrapped fudge to room temperature.
