Make rich, creamy chocolate fudge with only three basic ingredients. This foolproof recipe sets quickly and is perfect for a simple dessert or holiday gifting.

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 two sides for easy removal.
  2. Place the chocolate chips in a medium, microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the chocolate chips.
  4. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir the mixture well.
  5. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes total after the first minute.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  7. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  9. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares before serving.

Notes

  • For peanut butter fudge, substitute 1 cup of creamy peanut butter for the vanilla extract and stir it in after the chocolate is melted.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • If you prefer a stovetop method, combine the milk and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth, then remove from heat and add vanilla.
