Ingredients
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except nuts in a large bowl.
- Microwave on Medium (50%) until chocolate chips are melted, 4 to 6 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking.
- Stir in nuts.
- Pour into a well-greased 8 x 8-inch square baking dish.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier fudge, consider using a mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or substitute with dried fruits like cranberries or raisins for added texture and flavor. Ensure your bowl is microwave-safe, and keep an eye on it to prevent overheating, as chocolate can seize.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares and serve it as a sweet treat during gatherings or as a dessert after dinner. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or can be used to top a slice of Thick And Creamy Chewy Chocolate Cake. For an extra touch, drizzle with caramel or sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate it, where it can last for up to three weeks. If you want to enjoy it warm, simply microwave a piece for 10-15 seconds to soften it slightly before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use white chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet or milk chocolate?
Yes, white chocolate chips can be used, but keep in mind that the flavor and texture will differ. White chocolate tends to be sweeter, so you might want to reduce the amount of condensed milk slightly to balance the sweetness.
How can I make this fudge vegan?
To make this fudge vegan, substitute the butter with coconut oil or a vegan margarine and use dairy-free chocolate chips. Ensure your sweetened condensed milk is plant-based or opt for a homemade version using coconut milk and sugar for a delicious alternative.
Can I add flavorings to the fudge?
Absolutely! You can enhance the fudge by adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt for a salted chocolate version. Other flavorings like peppermint extract or almond extract can also be used to create variations that will surprise your taste buds.
