3 Minute Microwave Fudges
Creamy, rich peanut butter and chocolate fudge that melts in your mouth, perfect for quick treats or satisfying dessert cravings, suitable for all ages and occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, and condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave for 3 minutes, then stir until smooth. Continue microwaving in short intervals if needed until fully melted and smooth.
- Add vanilla extract to the mixture and stir well.
- Pour the mixture into a lightly buttered 9 x 9-inch or oblong cake pan.
- Chill in the refrigerator until the fudge is set.
- Once set, remove from the pan and cut into pieces.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fudge, make sure to stir thoroughly after microwaving, as some chips may take longer to melt. If you want to use a different type of chips, try using white chocolate or even butterscotch chips for a different flavor. Additionally, you can mix in nuts or dried fruits for added texture. This fudge is similar to the ease of making 15 Minute No Bake Cookies.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into bite-sized pieces for easy snacking. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate for a cozy treat. Consider serving it alongside a slice of Hurry Up Cake for a delightful dessert platter. It's also a great gift option when packaged in a decorative box or tin.
Storage & Reheating
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, you can freeze it. Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. To enjoy, simply let them thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of condensed milk?
Yes, you can use sweetened condensed coconut milk as a dairy-free alternative. This will give your fudge a slightly different flavor but still maintain a creamy texture. Be sure to check the consistency, as some brands may vary.
How can I make my fudge thicker?
To achieve a thicker fudge, consider reducing the amount of condensed milk slightly or adding more chocolate chips. Alternatively, you can chill the fudge longer in the refrigerator to help it set more firmly.
What should I do if my fudge is too soft?
If your fudge turns out too soft, you can try refrigerating it longer to see if it firms up. If it's still too soft after chilling, you can reheat it gently, add a bit more peanut butter or chocolate chips, and then pour it back into the pan to set again.
