I love fudge! It’s a special treat and we usually only make it around Christmas time.

This year and the boys and I made it this year for Christmas Eve along with some yummy Sugar Cookies. The boys actually did most of the work on the fudge, that’s hoe simple it is to make.

Luckily my parents came into town the day after Christmas and helped us eat it or else I may have done it alone; it turned out so good!

How to make Chocolate Fudge:

Chocolate Fudge is super easy to make! With only three ingredients, you can make this easily for a quick dessert or a large batch for a party!

Place all the ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and melt on 30 second intervals until it is all melted together.

It should take about 2 or 3 minutes. Once it is all melted and mixed together, pour the mixture into a pan or baking dish lined with parchment paper.

Spread the mixture and then place it in the refrigerator to set at least 2 hours. Slice and serve once set.

Ingredient Notes:

Semisweet Chocolate Chips: Semisweet chips work great for this recipe so it’s not overly sweet. You can use any chocolate chip you prefer for this recipe.

Sweetened Condensed Milk

How to store fudge:

Fudge is best stored in an airtight container, layered with parchment paper if you have to stack it.

I prefer to keep my fudge in the refrigerator, as leaving it on the counter softens it up. If you like a softer fudge, you can leave it on the counter.

Fudge either way should last about 7-10 days. You will probably eat the fudge faster than that time frame though.
