Step 3: Microwave the Mixture
Microwave the mixture for 1 minute on high. After one minute, remove the bowl and stir thoroughly. Then, microwave it again for another 1-2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir. The goal is to have a smooth, glossy chocolate mixture without any lumps. Overheating can make the chocolate seize, so keep a close eye on it.
Step 4: Add Flavor
Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. The vanilla enhances the chocolate flavor, and the salt balances the sweetness, giving your fudge a richer taste.
Step 5: Pour Into Pan
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. If you like, sprinkle chopped nuts, colorful sprinkles, or a light dusting of sea salt on top for extra texture and flavor.
Step 6: Chill
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Because it’s made with condensed milk and chocolate chips, it sets quickly compared to traditional fudge recipes.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife. Your 3-minute fudge is now ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Tips for Perfect Fudge
- Don’t overheat the chocolate. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
- Use good quality chocolate chips – they make a huge difference in flavor and texture.
- Customize it by adding peanut butter, caramel swirls, or crushed cookies before chilling.
- For a softer fudge, reduce the chilling time slightly.
