Easy Homemade Chocolate FudgeI’ve been loving testing out new fudge recipes lately. Did you catch my Easy White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge recently? SO good! Both that fudge and this one are so rich and creamy, it’s hard to stop eating them! Now, there are two great things I’ve found about fudge lately. One – it can be incredibly easy to make. And two – it’s a delicious treat to snack on when taking care of twins. 😉 The only problem with that is it might be too easy. But of course easy is exactly what we need this time of year. So much going on, so little time and oh my gosh, Christmas is like 10 days away. When did that happen?!? I’m so not ready. And if you’re not fully prepared and need something quick, this fudge is for you. Not to mention, it’s a great chocolate fix if you’re losing your mind a bit and chocolate makes you feel better. 🙂 HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE FUDGESo to get started making this easy chocolate fudge, you’ll need just three ingredients – chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Hopefully you’re like me and already have those 3 things in your pantry at all times. Grab a 9×9 inch pan and line it with parchment paper and set that aside. Then put the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk into a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave them for one minute, then stir to combine and let the residual heat do as much of the melting as it can. If it needs another 30 seconds or so, go ahead and heat it some more, then stir it until it’s melted. Once everything is melted together, add the vanilla extract and combine everything. Working quickly, pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Let the fudge cool to room temperature before cutting into squares. You could also let it cool in the fridge to speed up the process, but it doesn’t have to be refrigerated. THIS FUDGE RECIPE ONLY TAKES 3 MINUTES!This chocolate fudge is so easy to make, it takes all of about three minutes! A minute to prepare the pan and ingredients, a minute to melt the chocolate and a minute to spread it out into the pan. Seriously – SO EASY! You will be enjoying the best chocolate fudge before you know it! Dense, rich, chocolatey, delicious! What are you waiting for?!

I actually like to make this simple fudge recipe year round. Sometimes I have such a hankering for chocolate, but I don’t want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen. Which is why I love this 15-minute Eagle Brand Fudge recipe. It’s a quick and easy failproof treat. This fudge recipe only calls for four basic ingredients, which you probably already have in your pantry! You do have to be patient while it sets for a couple hours, but after that you’ve got a creamy, chocolatey treat that everyone will enjoy. Super Easy Fudge Recipe!This fudge recipe is so easy, you don’t need to have any baking skills. You don’t even need to use the stove if you don’t want to. You can even make it in the microwave. It’s also super foolproof with just four ingredients that are sure to turn out delicious. If you want to spice things up a bit, I have some fun variations later on, but this recipe is so tasty, I doubt you’ll need them! Despite its simplicity, this fudge recipe is the absolute best. The fudge is so silky and the rich chocolate-ness is so decadent and addictive. You’re going to love this fudge so much, you won’t want to share! But before we get into the recipe, let’s chat a bit first! First off let’s talk chocolate. This is the most important ingredient in your fudge recipe; the quality and the choice of chocolate will affect both the taste and the texture of your fudge. This fudge recipe calls for semi-sweet and will result in a pretty sweet dessert. If you prefer a more chocolatey flavor, go for dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate. Sometimes I do a mix of semi-sweet and dark. Yum! Another important thing to remember as you start to make your fudge. The more you stir, the creamier your fudge will be! For the silkiest, melt-in-your-mouth fudge, remember – just keep stirring. When the fudge is starting to stiffen and get shiny, that’s when you know it’s done! As soon as everything is mixed together and the chocolate has completely melted, remove from the heat. If your fudge isn’t setting, it’s probably because it wasn’t quite cooked long enough. It should only be about five minutes, but make sure you start to see a definite change in texture before you take it off the heat. How to Store FudgeBecause of its high sugar content, this fudge recipe is much less prone to bacteria growth, especially compared to most other baked treats. This makes it last a lot longer!

Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.This fudge will have a longer shelf-life and won’t soften if you keep it stored in the fridge. Store it covered (so it won’t dry out) in the refrigerator for up to a month. If you don’t like it cold, that’s okay too! Fudge will last up to two weeks at room temperature. You can also freeze this fudge recipe. Fudge will last in the freezer for up to three months. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, or store in another air-tight container so it doesn’t get freezer burn or develop strange flavors from the items around it. Does fudge made with sweetened condensed milk need to be refrigerated?(you can place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to speed up the process.) Store in an airtight container. Fudge does not need to be kept refrigerated.
Which is better for fudge evaporated or condensed milk?Unfortunately, you cannot use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk in fudge. You can substitute evaporated milk for regular milk in many instances, but it will not give the same rich, creamy taste that you get from the sweetened condensed milk.
What is the secret to perfect fudge?The trick to good homemade fudge is to cook the ingredients to the right temperature to form a sugar syrup, and cool the mixture properly so the texture of the fudge turns out smooth and firm, but soft enough to cut.
How do you harden condensed milk for fudge?Add evaporated milk and reheat. If you followed your recipe's instructions and your fudge still did not harden properly, add a little bit of evaporated milk (start with 1/8 of your recipe's amount) and very slowly bring your fudge back to a boiling point, carefully checking your candy thermometer to avoid burning.
