Fool-Proof Homemade Fudge
Description
Fool-Proof Homemade Fudge is prepared by melting together sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. The mixture is microwaved in increments with stirring until smooth, then poured into a parchment-lined pan to set in the refrigerator for about two hours. This results in a dense, creamy texture typical of classic fudge, with a balanced sweetness and chocolate flavor.
The recipe allows for customization: additional chopped nuts can be folded in for crunch, various extracts like mint or nut extracts can enhance flavors, and using white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet creates different fudge types. Marbled effects are achieved by swirling different chocolate melts before chilling.
The fudge is served cut into small pieces, suitable for snacking or sharing. It stores well in the refrigerator to maintain its firmness and freshness.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
- In a large microwave safe bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract.
- Microwave in 30 second increments until melted, stirring in between.
- Pour into the prepared pan and spread out with a rubber spatula.
- Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Remove from pan and cut into small pieces for serving. Store in the fridge.
Notes
- Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds for a crunchy texture.
- You can swap vanilla extract for mint or nut extracts to vary the flavor.
- Use white chocolate chips in place of semi-sweet for a different style of fudge.
- For marbled fudge, melt white and semi-sweet chocolates separately and swirl together before refrigeration.
