Description

This Five Minute Fudge is the ultimate shortcut dessert for chocolate lovers. Unlike traditional boiled fudge that requires precise temperature monitoring and constant stirring, this version comes together in minutes with minimal effort. The rich, sweet condensed milk blends seamlessly with melted chocolate to create a dense, creamy texture that sets perfectly in the fridge. Topped with crunchy chopped nuts and a hint of vanilla, it offers a perfect balance of smooth and chewy. It is an ideal treat for last-minute gatherings, holiday candy trays, or simply satisfying a sudden sweet craving. With no complex techniques required, this recipe is foolproof and consistently delicious every time.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Spray an 8-inch square pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and condensed milk.
  3. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  5. Fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  7. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to cut.
  9. Cut into squares and serve.

Note

For best results, use high-quality chocolate chips to ensure a smooth texture.

If you prefer a smoother fudge without nuts, you can omit them or sprinkle them on top before the fudge sets.

Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

To make cutting easier, let the fudge sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
