Easy Chocolate Fudge – Incredibly easy and deliciously creamy chocolate fudge that only requires 4 ingredients to make!
I absolutely love fudge. Especially if it’s chocolate fudge.
Today, I bring you a quick and easy recipe for Chocolate Fudge. This fudge only requires 4 ingredients, and you only need one bowl and a spatula!
How to make Easy Chocolate Fudge
Ingredients you’ll need:
- chocolate: Use your favourite chocolate! The one you love to eat on its own. That could be milk chocolate, dark, or even semi-sweet. You may even use two types of chocolate.
- unsalted butter
- sweetened condensed milk
- vanilla extract
Place the chocolate and butter into a large microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth.
Stir in the condensed milk and vanilla until combined. The mixture will become very thick at this point.
Spread the mixture into an 8×8-inch square baking pan lined with foil or parchment paper, and smooth out the top. Refrigerate for 2 – 4 hours or overnight until completely set before cutting into pieces.
The printable recipe card with the full list of ingredients, their measurements, and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.
NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
This Easy Chocolate Fudge is:
- so quick and easy to throw together
- deliciously rich and creamy
- loaded with flavour
- perfect for sharing and gift-giving!
How long will this chocolate fudge last? This fudge can be stored, in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week, or in the fridge for 2 – 3 weeks.
Can I freeze this fudge? Yes. This fudge also freezes well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

Love this recipe ! I have made it alot. Thanks for sharing!
Can you use chocolate chips instead of chocolate blocks?
Yes, just make sure to use good quality chocolate chips.
I did this and the mixture split it seams like it over mixed, I think you should make it clear that you shouldn’t over mix! Very disappointed 🙁
Is it okay to add chopped pecans? If so, how much? Thank you!
Of course! You can add up to 1 cup (125g) of chopped nuts. Enjoy! 🙂
THE.BEST.FUDGE.RECIPE – EVER!!! I tried other recipes over the holiday season and finally made this one on Christmas Eve. PERFECTO!!!
I’m so glad you liked it! 🙂
What good quality chocolate do you use? Is it milk? Semi sweet?
I like to use milk or semi-sweet (Lindt or local shop brand), but you can totally use dark if you enjoy it 🙂
Can’t wait to make these candies for Christmas.

I love homemade fudge! This recipe is dangerously easy and looks so good!
I’m totally blown away by how easy this is too make. It looks gorgeous too! Pinning it for later.
The first time I made fudge was when I was still a new cook and it was such a failure. I think I’d like to give it a try again, with your recipe. You make it look so simple!
This fudge looks so creamy and yummy! I love fudge and don’t make it often since I’d eat the whole darn thing myself, but I will be making this!
The gorgeous photos show the wonderful texture of this delicious fudge. Just four ingredients – so easy!
I have made this and it is oh so awesome!!! I have added white chocolate chips to make it look like it has nuts. 🙂 I also added toffee chips and sprinkle lightly with kosher salt. Yum!!!
That sounds delicious! I’m so glad you liked it! 🙂
Tried it today and it was wow. The best and easy fudge recipe.
