Microwave Fudge is the perfect homemade candy for beginners and experts alike, with only 3 ingredients, no thermometer, you get an easy and delicious rich chocolate fudge!
Today I have another great holiday treat for you. This fudge is a little simpler than the recipe I shared with you at the beginning of the week, because its only 3 ingredients and its made in the microwave! All you need to make this fudge is chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk. You can leave the butter out if you like, it makes the top a bit more greasy.
This chocolate fudge recipe is the perfect holiday treat to make for your neighbors because its so easy and also delicious.
Another great thing about this is you can add any mix-ins you want to the fudge, you can add your favorite candy bars, cookies, nuts, or top it with sprinkles or melted caramels.
You can make this fudge in a traditional baking dish, or another fun way to make it is to spread the fudge out inside of cookie cutters and wrap it up in a cute little bag and give to your neighbors that way. Its a delicious edible gift, plus they’ll have a cute cookie cutter to use later!

Hi. I apparently made a big mistake. I didn’t have condensed milk. I used 2% 11 oz, 12 oz milk chocolate, dash of vanilla and small jar of marshmellow cream and 1 1/ cups sugar. Help. It’ll probably make delicious hot chocolate. Is there any way to fix?
Aimee says
Oops. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a way to salvage it into fudge at this point, regular milk is way to thin and this only works as a microwave fudge with condensed milk. It sounds like you were trying to make regular fudge in the microwave instead. I’d recommend this recipe https://lmld.org/turtle-fudge next time (made on the stove) which has similar ingredients, but you need evaporated milk instead of regular milk. I don’t think 2% will ever work for fudge.

I’ve made your fudge you don’t specify dk choc, semi sweet, or milk choc. I used semi sweet as I like that taste. Is one better than another
Aimee says
I like milk chocolate the best, but any can be used depending on your preferences

Will adding some creamy peanut butter change the way this sets up? I’ve made it for several years and it’s a huge hit and delicious…I just think peanut butter would be awesome, if it will set up correctly.
Aimee says
It may soften it a bit, but you should be fine adding peanut butter. I’d eliminate the butter and add about 1/2 cup or so. Let me know how it goes!

It tasted great but was my first time making it,everyone loved it but for some reason mine did`nt firm up as it should of any suggestions.
Thank you so much
Aimee says
Did you add the full 3 cups of chocolate chips? There should be no issues with it firming up if you did, but sometimes you have to put it in the fridge to help it get there quicker.

I had 23 ozs of chocolate chips aa each package holds 11,5 ozs. I used 4 T butter as two didn’t seem to be enough. Four wasn’t enough. My can of sweerened condensed could have been bigger. All in all, I came to the conclusion that there should have been less chips. Maybe 1 package or 1 and 1/2 pkgs. The chips didn’t melt much in that short of time either. I cooked it for 7 minutes and they still didn’t melt. Then I stirred and stirred and they never did melt. I put the fudge in a buttered pan and I hope the heat will melt the chips. I also added a caramel extract for flavor. I’m out of vanilla.
Aimee Berrett says
I’m so sorry you had problems with this recipe Arlene. Chocolate chips should definitely melt in your microwave in just a few minutes, it should not take 7 minutes, so my guess is your microwave has very low power or maybe there was an issue with the bowl you used, as I’ve had that problem before. Sorry! :/
