You can make rich, decadent chocolate fudge with just three simple ingredients. This foolproof recipe delivers creamy, classic fudge perfect for holiday candy or a quick sweet craving fix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.
  3. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. This usually takes 1 to 1.5 minutes total.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
  7. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, substitute the semi-sweet chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips.
  • If you prefer a firmer fudge, chill it for an extra hour before cutting.
  • This recipe makes a great food gift idea when wrapped individually.
