Ingredients
- semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- sweetened condensed milk
Step by step
- Line and 8 by 8 inch dish with parchment paper.
- Pour chocolate morsels into a medium microwave safe bowl. Add condensed milk.
- Microwave for 90 seconds. Stir until smooth. If chocolate chips aren’t fully melted microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between.
- Once smooth pour the fudge into the prepared pan.
- Refrigerate 4 hours or until set.
Tips for best results
- This fudge recipe comes together very quickly so have your ingredients ready and if you choose to have add ins (see below) have them ready before you start microwaving.
- Do not overheat the fudge, if overheated the chocolate will “seize” up and become dry and crumbly. You want it to heat just until the chocolate will melt as you stir.
Add ins for fudge
There are a ton of ways you can vary this simple basic fudge recipe. Here are some of our favorite fudge add-ins:

- stir in 2 tablespoons of butter after microwaving for a creamier texture
- use white chocolate chips to make vanilla fudge

does it matter if it’s milk chocolate chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips? I don’t even know if there’s a difference between the two.
Tried the fudge recipe last evening. My fudge is on 1/2″ high compared to yours, which looks about 1″ high. I used an 8″ square pan as directed. Also, your fudge looks firm and cut clean. My fudge is soft and the bottom of fudge sticks to the plate when I cut it in squares.
Also tried it with choco chips and mint choco chips together. Same result. Will it get firmer as it sits? Both of these sat overnight. Won’t be using this fudge for the gifts as I was intending to do. Just too sloppy looking.
What did I do wrong?
Did you refrigerate it for four hrs?
Thanks, Melissa. Really appreciate your fixing that. and adding the “print” version. I have already made the recipe using a combination of choco chips and peanut butter chips. Also added pecans. Am waiting for it to cool completely. I hope I microwaved it enough. The chips melted and I stirred everything together.
I haven’t made fudge in about 30 years. If it works, I want to add it to several food gift baskets that I am making. Going to try it next with choco chips and mint choco chips.
If the fudge doesn’t set this evening, that means I won’t get into it!!!!
Any “Print” prompt for this recipe. I don’t want to print the page – too many images and they use up the inks. Really don’t have time to write it down.
Hi Joyce, I found that once I hit the ‘Print’ button the preview showed the recipe and directions.
