3 Minute Fudge – Don’t LOSE this Recipe

Step 3: Microwave and Stir

Microwave the chocolate and condensed milk mixture on high for 60 to 90 seconds, depending on your microwave’s power. Remove the bowl carefully — it may be hot.

Stir well. The mixture should be smooth, glossy, and completely melted. If there are still small chunks, microwave in additional 15-second bursts, stirring each time until smooth.


Step 4: Add Flavor and Texture

Once melted and smooth, stir in:

  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • Any optional add-ins, like nuts, a pinch of salt, or chopped candies

Mix thoroughly to distribute evenly.


Step 5: Spread and Chill

Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or 1 hour in the freezer if you’re in a hurry), until firm.


Step 6: Slice and Serve

Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into squares using a sharp knife. Wipe the blade clean between cuts for smooth edges.
