Super-Easy Chocolate Fudge

User Rating5.0 out of 5 (1 Reviews)  Write a Review

By Diana Rattray, About.com

This easy chocolate fudge is a snap to make with sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and a little butter. If you use the microwave to heat the mixture, be sure to stir it frequently until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is well blended.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 ounces)
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips (6 ounces)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional

Preparation:

Lightly grease a 9-inch square pan; line with a piece of plastic wrap about 18 to 24 inches in length, leaving the ends out to cover the finished fudge. The ends will also serve as "handles" which will help you lift the fudge out of the pan.

Heat the condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla in a double boiler over simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in nuts, if using; pour into the prepared pan. Spread gently then cover lightly with the ends of the plastic wrap. Chill until firm. Lift out of the pan and cut into small squares.

My new Fudge recipe of choiceDecember 10, 2008By McJulieO
"Since I used the microwave oven to reduce the mess in the kitchen, this was incredibly fast, unbelievably easy, and unexpectedly smooth and tasty. It took maybe 3 minutes on High (I was careful not to overcook) and cooled overnight at room temperature, and, when cut into small 1/2"" squares, made about 6 dozen servings. Simply a wonderful recipe, and it will be my Go-To fudge recipe of choice from now on."
