The Easiest Two Ingredient Fudge Recipe You’ll Ever Make
Two ingredient fudge is the creamy, no fuss recipe you’ve been looking for! Make this in under 10 minutes of hands on time.
I love this two ingredient fudge because it takes no thermometers, no babysitting, and is a practically no-fail method. The recipe is simple, but the variations can get as exciting as you like. For starters, you can use any kind of chip that will melt as the base. White chocolate, dark chocolate, semi-sweet, milk, peanut butter – whatever. If it will melt smoothly, it will make delicious fudge.
Then there’s the add-ins. You can add flaky sea salt, nuts, dried fruit, candies, other sorts of chips, and sprinkles. I personally love using half peanut butter chips and half chocolate chips to make Reese’s fudge!
Ingredients
Sow what are those two super-secret ingredients? They’re both pantry stable, and easy to find at the grocery store!
- Chocolate Chips: I love semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use any kind of chips that will melt.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: You need one 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk. This creates the creamy texture of the fudge, and adds a gorgeous sweetness.
Instructions
Step 1 | Melt Chocolate
You can either melt your chocolate in a double boiler, or use the microwave. I’m a fan of the microwave option.
Place your chocolate chips in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the chocolate in 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smoothly melted.
Step 2 | Make Fudge
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the melted chocolate and mix it until you get a smooth fudge mixture.
Pour the fudge mixture into a 9×9 baking dish that you’ve lined with wax or parchment paper.
Step 3 | Set
Pop your fudge into the fridge for about 30 minutes to let it set. If you don’t want to put it in the fridge, it will set on the countertop. It takes 3-4 hours at room temperature.
Step 4 | Enjoy!
Once your fudge is set, you can use a sharp knife to cut it into 36 pieces. You can add garnishes, like flaky sea salt, chopped nuts, or sprinkles, to really level up your fudge game!
Variations
This recipe is essentially a base for unlimited fudge recipes! You can sub the chocolate chips to get several different flavored bases, and by adding mix-ins and other ingredients, you can create your own signature fudge! Here are a few flavor ideas to get started!
- Reese’s Fudge: Use 1/2 peanut butter chips and 1/2 milk chocolate chips to get a fudge that tastes like a Reese’s cup!
- White Chocolate Cranberry: The perfect treat for holidays, you can make this by subbing white chocolate chips for the chocolate chips and adding chopped dried cranberries. Top with chopped pistachios for a garnish!
- Aloha Fudge: Use white chocolate chips in the base and add chopped macademia nuts and dried pineapple. Sprinkle with coconut flakes!
- Mint Chocolate Fudge: Add 1 tsp mint flavoring to the fudge mixture. Add crushed peppermint candy canes to the top for a festive take, or mint chips or chopped Andes mints for an everyday look!
- Butterscotch Pecan: Use 1/2 white chocolate chips and 1/2 butterscotch chips in the base. Add chopped pecans to the fudge mixture and sprinkle a few more over the top!
