Easy Microwave Fudge Recipe

Fudge can sometimes be intimidating to make for some cook's. I think it's the idea that you need to cook it ot a specific temperature and use a thermometer. I realized many years ago that using a thermometer actually helps the process and takes the guessing out of the preparation. That said, the mention of using a thermometer doesn't appeal to some cook's and that's when a recipe like this microwave fudge is the perfect alternative.

Helpful Tips for Making Chocolate Microwave Fudge

• This recipe was made in a 1000 watt microwave. You can make it using any size microwave. Depending on a higher or lower wattage, simply adjust the time accordingly. Keep in mind, the main purpose is to melt the chocolate, butter and milk together until it's completely smooth.
• To line the pna, begin by flipping the pan over. Press the foil over the bottom to form the shape, then fit into the pan.
• It's best to measure the powdered sugar beforehand and have all of your supplies ready before you begin so, you can work quickly.
• I highly recommend using a good chocolate for this fudge that will melt smoothly. I used Ghiradelli.
• You can use any variety of nuts in this fudge to suit your personal taste. You can also omit nuts should you choose to.
• This fudge can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or chilled for up to one week, possibly even a bit longer. Chilling will lengthen the shelf life.
