Make rich, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate fudge using only three simple ingredients. This foolproof, no-bake recipe delivers a smooth texture fast, perfect for holiday candy or quick indulgence.

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 microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.
  3. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes total.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  7. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares.

Notes

  • For a variation, substitute 1 cup of peanut butter chips for half of the chocolate chips to make a simple peanut butter chocolate fudge.
  • If you prefer an Old Fashioned Fudge texture, you can stir in 1 cup of chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) after melting the chocolate.
  • For a quick microwave fudge, use the lowest power setting to prevent scorching the chocolate.
