How to Make Fudge The Easy Way (4 Steps)

If there are 200 ways to make fudge, 190 of them will involve a lot of ingredients and a clean-up effort. A quick, less messy recipe relies on sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chunks. It can be made and ready to eat within 2 1/2 hours.

Things You'll Need

  • 3 cups (18 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • 1 (14 oz.) can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Dash of salt
  • Flavored extract of your choice (optional)
  • 8 or 9-inch square pan
  • Wax paper

Instructions

  1. Place a small pot over low heat on the stove. Insert the chocolate chunks and a can of condensed milk, a dash of salt and the vanilla. Heat the mixture until it looks like a pot of melted chocolate.

  2. Line the baking pan with wax paper. Spread the heated mixture into the pan.

  3. Put the fudge in the freezer for 2 minutes, then move it the refrigerator. The quick chill will accelerate the firming process.

  4. Chill the mix for 2 hours or until it is firm. Turn the fudge onto a cutting board, peel off the wax paper and cut the fudge into squares.
