Easy Microwave Fudge Recipe

Fudge can sometimes be intimidating to make for some cook’s. I think it’s the idea that you need to cook it at a specific temperature and use a thermometer. I realized many years ago that using a thermometer actually helps the process and takes the guessing out of the preparation. That said, the mention of using a thermometer doesn’t appeal to some cook’s and that’s when a recipe like this microwave fudge is the perfect alternative.

How to Make the BEST Microwave Fudge Recipe

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Microwave Fudge: Semi sweet chocolate chips, milk, chopped toasted walnuts, salted butter, vanilla extract and powdered sugar.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: A large microwave safe bowl, mixer, measuring set, a non stick rubber spatula, a sheet pan for toasting the nuts and a 9 x 9 inch square pan.
• This recipe was made in a 1000 watt microwave. You can make it using any wattage of  microwave but you may need to make adjustments. Depending on a higher or lower wattage, simply adjust the time accordingly. Keep in mind, the main purpose is to melt the chocolate, butter and milk together until it’s completely smooth not to bring it to a boil like candy.
• To line the pan with foil, begin by flipping the pan over. Press the foil over the bottom to form the shape, then flip it back upright and fit into the pan.
• It’s best to measure the powdered sugar beforehand and have all of your supplies ready before you begin, so that you can work quickly.
• I highly recommend using a good chocolate for this fudge that will melt smoothly. I used Ghiradelli brand and it melts perfectly smooth for this or any recipe that uses chocolate chips.
• You can use any variety of nuts in this fudge to suit your personal taste. You can also omit nuts should you choose to.
• This Microwave Fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or chilled for up to one week, possibly even a bit longer. Chilling will lengthen the shelf life.
