Delicious and decadent, this 3 Ingredient Milk Chocolate Fudge is the easiest fudge you will ever make!
This recipe has been around for many years! So many lovely variations of it are available, I make it so often but have never shared it on here so I thought I would. I make lots of varieties, so today I am sharing my milk chocolate version.
Depending on your preference you will know this as either a 2 ingredient or 3 ingredient recipe.
When I used to make it originally I only used chocolate and condensed milk and it is super tasty, however find that it holds its shape and texture better if it has butter in it so have amended my recipe.
The consistency of this fudge is quite different to traditional cooked fudge, it is softer and creamier. It is best stored in the fridge as it will soften upon standing. It is very rich and so tasty.
You can use any chocolate you like, the three main ones I use are white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark chocolate. This fudge is also perfect for adding extras to such as nuts, dried fruits or sprinkles.

You can use milk chocolate drops or as I have done your favourite eating chocolate. You need 500 grams for the full recipe so you want it to taste good!
Making this fudge could not be easier, it takes 5 minutes to bring together, you just need a microwave to make it super quick.
To begin you combine the ingredients in a large microwave proof bowl and heat for a minute, then stir and heat for a further minute. Stir really well at this stage, if any lumps remain you simply give it a few more 20 second bursts until it is thick and creamy.
The final step is to pour it into a prepared pan. I like to line my tins with baking paper which I adhere to the tin with a little baking spray. Then set! You want it to firm up completely before slicing.

So keen to try this. I used to make this fudge a lot, but without the butter, but I find it quite soft. So I’d be keen to try it and see how it changes it.

Need to convert grams to ounces.
justamumnz says
Grams is a universal unit of measurement which allows people all over the world to convert to their preferred unit of measurement. Ounces are used in very few countries now.
Diana Schulzkump says
Aim eager to try this BUT guess I’m dumb, but how do I measure 500 grams of choc and 50 grams of butter. What size is a 20 – 23 sm sq pan My stupidity must be showing
justamumnz says
You should be able to google how to convert these to your preferred unit of measurement.
