A sweet, homemade fudge makes a lovely gift. This one is so simple; just a few ingredients melted together form a creamy, chocolatey treat. No candy thermometer required!
A little box of homemade chocolate fudge...
with peppermint crisp shards on top!
There are just a few simple steps to making this creamy chocolate fudge. I followed the recipe, for 3 Minute Chocolate Fudge, from the Chocolate, Chocolate & More website. It really does only take a few minutes!
Here's how to make it:
Put 400g condensed milk (one tin) & 2 cups dark chocolate chips
into a microwave safe bowl.
Melt on high in microwave for one minute. Stir gently to combine.
Heat for another 30 seconds if needed to melt all chocolate chips.
Add one teaspoon vanilla extract & stir until well combined.
Cut up or crush topping for your fudge.
Carefully pour fudge into lined slice tray.
Sprinkle topping on & gently press into surface of the fudge.
After an hour or so in the refrigerator, your simple and sweet chocolate fudge should be set and ready to cut into squares. Keep in an airtight container and try to resist sampling too many pieces before packaging up your homemade fudge. 😉
To make my fudge that little bit more special, I topped it with the minty shards of a peppermint crisp. For a festive fudge, you could top with a crushed candy cane or some chopped dried fruits or nuts.
Packaged up beautifully it makes a sweet, homemade gift for birthdays or Christmas.

Thanks for the recipe! I know that tastes delicious because I can eat sweetened condensed milk straight out of the can...lol Chocolate is a great combination with it. Andrea
ReplyDeleteWhen we were young, Andrea, my mother would make caramel by boiling tins of condensed milk. It was just the most divine treat when they were cool enough to open and we each got a spoonful. Waiting for them to cool down was the hard part!! Meg:)
DeleteOMG this looks AMAZING>>>>>>> I will definately make this...I have a can of condensed milk in the pantry and chocolate as well. Now the question is if I make it I will want to eat it now. So simple thanks for the recipe. Love those peppermint crisps too.
ReplyDeleteIt is delicious, Kathy...and irresistible! MegXx
DeleteOh that sounds delicious, Meg. Thanks for the recipe. I love the look of the green candy sprinkled on top.
ReplyDeleteI think pressing something like crushed nuts, fruits or peppermint crisp into the top jazzes it up that little bit more, Stephanie, and you can match that topping to what the recipient likes. Meg:)
DeleteOmg I will be making this, right before I need to gift it because I have NO willpower how simple and delicious. Thank you
ReplyDeleteIt iss very tempting! I only ever make it for gifts. If I made it for us, it would disappear way too quickly! Meg:)
DeleteWhat a great idea. I've not tried this method before. X
ReplyDeleteIt's very easy and quick to make and very delicious! Meg:)
DeleteThat's so easy, even I could make it, looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt's very easy to make, Marlene. It makes a simple and delicious homemade gift. Meg:)
DeleteThat does look yum, Meg. Quick too if you have a microwave but we ditched ours years ago. A nice quick and easy gift.
ReplyDeleteI think it could be made on stove top too, Chel. It might just take longer.
DeleteMeg:)
I was thinking the same, as I don't have a microwave either, but I think it would work in a double boiler on the stove. I have a couple of friends who love chocolate who would enjoy this, might make some. No worries about it disappearing quickly, sweet and chocolate aren't my favourite thing. I know! Banished right! :)
DeleteThat looks absolutely gorgeous. I am a sucker for fudge
ReplyDeleteIt makes a very rich fudge, Cherie, for such a simple recipe. Meg:)
DeleteI made fudge once but it was the thermometer kind and took ages. This one looks so simple by comparison I may have a go.
ReplyDeleteIt is a really simple fudge to make and great for giving as a gift as it's always well received. Meg:)
