Make this creamy, classic chocolate fudge using just three simple ingredients. It is a wonderfully quick and foolproof recipe perfect for beginners or when you need a fast, decadent treat for gifting or holidays.

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 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 melted and smooth. This usually takes about 60 to 90 seconds total.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  7. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) right before pouring the mixture into the pan.
  • If you prefer a different flavor, substitute the semi-sweet chips with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips.
  • To make this recipe faster, you can melt the chocolate and milk in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, instead of using the microwave.
