If you’re craving a rich, creamy, and chocolatey treat that’s ridiculously easy to make, this fudge recipe is your answer. With just 3 ingredients and minimal effort, you can whip up a batch of decadent fudge that’s perfect for any occasion, special holidays, parties, or just a cozy night in.
Ingredients
2 cups (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional: Add your favorite mix-ins, such as chopped nuts, crushed candy canes, or mini marshmallows, to make it extra special.
Instructions
Prepare the Pan
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper for extra non-stick assurance.
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Add Vanilla
Stir in the vanilla extract for an extra depth of flavor. If you're adding mix-ins, now's the time to fold them in gently.
Pour and Chill
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
Cut and Serve
Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Slice into squares and enjoy!
Why This Recipe Works
This recipe’s simplicity comes from the magic of sweetened condensed milk, which adds sweetness and creaminess, while the chocolate chips do all the heavy lifting in flavor and texture. The vanilla ties it all together with a subtle aromatic touch.
Pro Tips
For a smoother cut, warm your knife with hot water and dry it before slicing.
Store your fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks—or freeze it for up to 3 months!
Perfect for Any Occasion
