Easy Chocolate Fudge Recipe

Fudge is one of those desserts that people love to buy, with entire shops set up and hoards of incredible flavors. But its also SO incredibly easy to make that buying it seems like a shame! From easy peanut butter fudge, to classic chocolate to even mint fudge, this 3 ingredient recipe makes even the most novice chef look like a pro. 

Call this fudge old fashioned or classic, but no matter what you call it, you will call it DELICIOUS! 

In this recipe, I used semi-sweet chocolate chips so I think technically this is a dark chocolate fudge. It’s so rich and comes together quick (in only 10 minutes!) and then time to chill and set. I always chill overnight for the best results but you can probably get away with an hour or two in the fridge if you HAD to. 

Easy Fudge Recipe Condensed Milk

Simply done, all you need is chocolate chips, condensed milk and butter for a smooth chocolaty finish. Your fudge should not be gritty, grainy or chewy- just melt in your mouth goodness.

• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 can, 14 oz, sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup butter

Optional Fudge Add-On’s: Add nuts like pecans or walnuts on top, add a pinch of vanilla, peppermint or orange extract to change the flavor

How to make Fudge

Line an 8×8 square baking pan with foil and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Add chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and butter in a sauce pan.

Heat your chocolate mixture over medium low heat, stirring constantly until butter and chocolate are melted and mixture is smooth and creamy. It is very important to continue to stir and not walk away from your fudge! 

Pour your melted chocolate into prepared pan and spread evenly with the back of a spoon.

Refrigerate fudge overnight or until firm.

Once firm, remove from refrigerator and peel fudge edges away from foil.

Use a large, sharp knife to cut into squares.
