Ingredients

12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 12-ounce bag, (2 cups)
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk 1 14-ounce can
3 tablespoons salted butter

Instructions

In a medium glass bowl (microwave safe), place all ingredients. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
Carefully remove the bowl (touching the sides only, not the bottom) and stir to combine. Reheat in 30 second intervals until all ingredients are melted and easily combined. (Should be about 3 minutes of total heat time)
Cut a piece of parchment paper and line it inside an 8x8” pan. Pour melted chocolate mixture into the pan. Allow to cool completely, and then refrigerate until fudge becomes firm.
Once your fudge is set, you can pull the entire pan of fudge out by pulling on the parchment paper. Cut your fudge into squares and serve immediately.

Notes

This is a soft fudge, so it requires refrigeration to stay hard. If you leave the fudge out for a long period of time, it will become very soft and gooey.

It is recommended to leave the fudge in the refrigerator around 8 hours to overnight to help it set to a firm consistency.

Traditional fudge can be tricky with getting all of the cooling and heating temperatures just right. This takes all the guesswork out of making fudge. It is such a quick easy recipe.

Fudge can be stored in an air-tight container for around 7 days in the refrigerator.

I don’t have an 8x8” pan. Can I use something else? You can use a 9x9”, 9x13”, or really any size pan would work. If you use a larger pan, you just won’t have the fudge all the way to the edge.

The microwave used for this recipe is a 1000W household microwave. If you have a more powerful microwave, you will need to use less time and/or power to heat your ingredients.
