Make rich, creamy chocolate fudge fast with only three simple ingredients. This no-bake recipe delivers a decadent, melt-in-your-mouth texture without needing a candy thermometer. It is a perfect quick dessert for gifting or satisfying a sweet craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 ounce) package 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. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.
  3. Microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir well. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes total.
  4. Remove from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  7. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into 36 small fudge squares.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, substitute the chocolate chips with peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer fudge, reduce the microwave time slightly or add 1/4 cup of chopped nuts during the final stir.
  • Store your homemade fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerated for longer storage.
