The easiest treat you will ever make! This Easy Chocolate Fudge is the perfect sweet treat and shockingly easy to make!
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
Unsalted Butter: Make sure the butter in unsalted.
Time to make this Easy Chocolate Fudge
Step One: Start with adding all the ingredients to a large microwavable bowl.
Place in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time mixing between until fully melted.
This could have 2-3 minutes to cook.
Recipe Tip
Heating for a small about of time and mixing between will help your chocolate to not harden when melting.
Step two: Once everything is melted mix until well combined. Pour these ingredients into a 8×8 casserole dish
Recipe Tip
I used parchment paper in my casserole dish for easy removal. Leave some overhang so you can just pull it all out and slice.
Step three: Place in the fridge until set. This will take at least 2 hours.
Then slice into fudge pieces and enjoy!
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.

Just curious if youโre using salted or unsalted butter. Thanks.
I use unsalted butter but either would work.
Do you use real butter or margarine?
I use real butter for this
This was amazing! I switched out the butter for Trader Joeโs coconut oil and added some toasted almond slivers and it was soo yummy and easy! Thanks for sharing!!
