I discovered this tasty recipe on about.com/food by Elizabeth LaBau. I modified it once to make a butterscotch peanut butter fudge (it tasted like the butterscotch coloured marshmallow squares the old ladies like to make!) This recipe makes semi-sweet chocolate fudge, but I'll make a note of where to change the recipe.
Easy No-Fail Microwave Fudge
Prep: 5 min | Total: 5 min.
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 2 cups caramel chips & 1 cup peanut butter chips)
- 1 14-oz can condensed milk
- 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
1. Prepare an 8x8 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter. Microwave in one-minute increments until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Stir to ensure all the chocolate is melted, then add the vanilla and salt. Stir until the candy is smooth and well-mixed. I omitted the vanilla and salt for the butterscotch fudge.
4. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer.
5. Place the fudge in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours. Once set, cut into 1-inch squares and serve at room temperature. Store excess fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
