Chocolaty, chewy, and made with just 3 ingredients. This is a great base recipe for an easy homemade fudge that can be customized and made to fit any taste-bud or occasion.

Ingredients

  • 1 14 oz can of Sweetened Condensed Milk

  • 2 Cups Chocolate Chips – *See Notes and Mix and Match section

  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

  • Mix Ins of your choice
    – I used Oreos in White Chocolate and Walnuts in Milk Chocolate

Directions

  • Prepare a 9×9 pan
    – Line a pan with parchment paper and lightly mist with a non stick spray for easier fudge removal.
  • Make the fudge
    -In a microwave safe bowl combine the chocolate chips and condensed milk. Microwave for 1 minute and stir. If the chocolate is not smooth continue to microwave in 30 seconds increments, stirring after each, until smooth.
  • Add remaining ingredients
    -Fold in the vanilla and any toppings you may be adding.
  • Chill the fudge
    -Pour the combined fudge mixture into the lined pan and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
    I prefer to make mine the day before and let them chill overnight before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • If you don’t have a 9×9 pan any other size square will work. ( You may need to double the recipe if going larger) The goal is to avoid using a rectangle as this may spread the fudge too thin for the right thickness when cutting pieces.
  • You can use any type of chocolate chip you would like for this! I recommended a few flavor combinations below.
  • After you cut your fudge it can be stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container for 7-10 days (if it isnt already all gone by then).

Mix and Match

If you can’t decide where to start, pick a few and get creative:

• White chocolate + Sprinkles = Funfetti Fudge

• Milk chocolate + Marshmallows + Almonds = Rocky Road Fudge

Remember you need 2 cups of chocolate chips, so you have the option to mix any of these chocolates equaling up to 2 cups.
