Fudge

Take 2 or 3 ingredients to create a fudge with a beautiful texture and smooth chocolate flavor.

This is truly the easiest fudge recipe you’ll ever find, with a beautiful texture and smooth chocolate flavor. This fudge comes together quickly, which means you get delicious results to enjoy asap.

2 (or 3) Ingredient Fudge

Butter the bottom and sides of a 13” x 9” pan, set aside.

To a large, flat-bottomed pot, add:

1 (10 oz) bag milk chocolate chips

1 (10 oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Set pot over “med/low” heat

Start stirring when the bottom chocolate chips heat enough to begin melting, approximately 1-2 minutes after placing pan on heat.

Continuously stir until chocolate is completely melted and sweetened condensed milk is smoothly incorporated. Remove from heat.

Stir in:

2 cups walnuts, lightly chopped (optional)

Transfer hot fudge to prepared pan. Allow to set and cut into 1” squares to serve or share as gifts.

Brenda’s tips:

  • Serving size: Plenty to share! Makes one 13” x 9” pan, just over 100 - 1” pieces

  • This fudge comes together very quickly and is less-likely to go sugary than other fudge recipes.

  • It’s suggested to use both milk & semi-sweet chocolate chips, alternately just use milk chocolate.

  • Walnuts are optional, add more or less as desired. Papa Saunders says that the fudge is there to hold the walnuts together . . . . for him, the walnuts get doubled to 4 cups.

  • Brenda traditionally makes a pan on Christmas Eve and wraps it (the whole batch still in the pan) for her dad to open on Christmas Day. He enjoys it, one piece at a time, over the Christmas holiday. Lucky for everyone else, he usually shares.

2 Tbsp butter

4 Tbsp cocoa

6 Tbsp heavy cream

Whisk while heating to a boil. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool to about 80-100F.

2 cups powdered sugar

* If needed, add more cream in 2 tsp increments.

Brenda Tips:

  • For a lighter milk chocolate frosting, only use 2 Tbsp cocoa.

  • If frosting seems a little dry or sugary, add 2-3 tsp cream, mixing with a hand mixer.

  • This is the perfect frosting for Brigham Young Donuts (Cake Donuts).
