How To Make 3 Ingredient Chocolate Fudge

That’s right! You only need 3 ingredients to create your own delicious chocolate fudge at home. Ready to begin?

Ingredients

1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pro Tip: If you intend to freeze your fudge, be sure to use real vanilla extract, not imitation. Imitation vanilla extract does not freeze well.

Step By Step Instructions

This 3 ingredient chocolate fudge recipe needs 5 minutes of prep time and 1 hour to rest.

Line an 8” baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips to a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them on high for 45 seconds. Stir. If the chocolate has not fully melted, microwave for an additional 30 seconds.
Add the vanilla and stir to combine.
Transfer the fudge to the parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it out using a spoon or offset spatula.
While the fudge is still wet, add any sprinkles or additional toppings you desire.
Place the fudge in the fridge to set– this should take about an hour. Once the fudge is set, slice it into squares and serve.

Here are a few important notes to remember when you’re making this chocolate fudge at home:

You can store any leftover 3 ingredient chocolate fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
You must use sweetened condensed milk in this recipe– not evaporated milk.

If the fudge is too hard to cut, allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Additionally, running your knife under hot water before slicing will ensure smooth, easy slices.
