Here’s a super easy and creamy fudge recipe made with just 6 ingredients! This fudge is smooth, rich, and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
6-Ingredient Creamy Fudge Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate chips, depending on your preference)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional, but it helps balance the sweetness)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (for a fluffy texture, optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it. This will make it easier to remove the fudge once it’s set.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and chocolate chips.
- Place the saucepan over low to medium heat and stir frequently until everything is melted and smooth. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent burning.
- Add Vanilla and Salt:
- Once the mixture is fully melted and smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt (if using) until well combined.
- Mix in Marshmallows (Optional):
- If you like a bit of extra texture, gently fold in the mini marshmallows now. The marshmallows will melt slightly into the fudge but still provide some fluffiness.
- Pour and Set:
- Pour the creamy fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Tap the dish gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and smooth the top.
- Chill the Fudge:
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until it’s fully set and firm to the touch.
- Cut and Serve:
- Once the fudge is set, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into small squares.
Optional Toppings:
- Chopped nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds can be sprinkled on top for added crunch.
- You could drizzle some melted white chocolate over the fudge before chilling for a decorative touch.
Storage:
Store your fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.
This fudge is so simple to make, and with just 6 ingredients, it’s an easy treat that will satisfy any chocolate cravings! Enjoy!
