Condensed Milk Fudge (2 ingredients)
Also known as 2-ingredient fudge, this is the easiest candy recipe as it involves two ingredients, a few minutes in the microwave or stove and some time in the fridge until it firms up. You can use any chocolate flavor, and it's the perfect canvas for add-ins.
Servings 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounces
- 14 to 17 ounces semisweet chocolate chips see Notes below
Instructions
- Spray or butter a square 8-inch pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper wide as the pan. It will cover the bottom and two sides. Reserve.
- Combine 14 to 17 ounces semisweet chocolate chips and 1 can sweetened condensed milk in a medium, microwave-safe mixing bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second spurts, mixing well in between, until the chocolate chips melt and turn smooth when stirred.
- If using the stove, place the bowl over a saucepan with simmering water that doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Stir with a spatula until it melts.
- Stir well to integrate both ingredients fully.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread even, tapping the pan on the counter to flatten.
- Place in the refrigerator until set. It's about 2 hours for me, but it might take more or less, depending on your fridge.
- Run a smooth-bladed knife around the edges to loosen up the fudge and transfer the whole block to a cutting board. Use the parchment paper to lift the whole piece.
- Using a sharp kitchen knife, slice the fudge into 1-inch pieces.
Notes
Amount of chocolate: if mailing it or taking it for a road trip, I recommend using 17 ounces as it will be denser and hold better.
You can store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Use different types of chocolate: use milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, mint chips or other flavors.
