I discovered something disturbing this weekend. Â I’m not really sure that I should I share it. But, I guess knowledge is power and it’s already out there all over Pinterest, so here goes.
You can make fudge with three ingredients in the microwave.
Terrifying, I know. Â With very minimal effort and time spent, you get fudge. Â I remember making the fudge recipe off of the Fluff container and I’m pretty sure that it required double boilers and lots of stirring over a hot stove. Â This recipe requires dumping things in a bowl, pressing buttons on the microwave and minimal stirring. Â Also one hour of waiting for the fudge to set up, which might be the hardest part of the whole thing.
Ingredients
1 14 oz can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 Bag of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 tsp vanilla
1. Â Pour the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl.
2. Â Microwave for 1 minute.
3. Â Remove from microwave, add vanilla and stir to combine until all of the chocolate is melted. Â Microwave additional 30 seconds if necessary.
4. Pour the chocolate mixture into a square, parchment paper lined baking pan.
5. Â Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set the fudge.
6. Â Lock your refrigerator with a timing lock that only allows you to open it long enough to take out one piece of fudge every 24 hours.
This was really, really good. Â I really want to try to figure out how to add a coffee flavor to it to mimic the Espresso Fudge I get at my favorite fudge place, Kellerhaus, in New Hampshire. Â And once I figure out espresso, maybe I’ll try mint, and then pumpkin and then whatever else I can think of.
What I love about fudge, other than the fudge, is that this makes a great holiday snacking dessert and also a great handmade gift.  Pop these into  tin and you have a great holiday gift for your kids teachers or hostess gift.
