Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 2 minutes
Total Time: 7 minutes
Yield: Makes about 2 pounds candy
Ingredients:
- 1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon cream
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, if desired
Preparation:
Place chips and milk in microwave
safe bowl. (You can use just the one package of semisweet chocolate chips, or
add the milk chocolate chips for a fudge that is slightly sweeter and
creamier.) Microwave on medium power for 2-3
minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Microwave, stirring at 1 minutes intervals,
until chips are melted and mixture is smooth and thick. Stir in butter and
cream until combined. Pour into greased 8" square pan
and cool. You can also melt the chips and milk in a heavy saucepan over low
heat.
You can add just about anything to
this easy recipe. Stir in a cup of chopped nuts, add a cup of marshmallows
after the cooking time is done, stir in chopped dried fruit or some white
chocolate chips, etc.

This recipe for fudge was very simple and easy. However, I wouldn't say that it was ready to eat in 7 minutes...it would've been somewhere between solid and liquid! So I let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before I cut into it. When I did, it was pretty sticky - definitely a stickier texture than most of the fudge I've tried before. That was only thing I didn't really like about it. But the taste was great and it was melt-in-your-mouth fudge. :) If I make it again, I'm planning on adding nuts to break it up a bit because it's really rich!
This pan of fudge went down pretty darn quick in my house...
