Microwave Chocolate Fudge

Microwave-Fudge

I’m kind of a scatterbrain when it comes to making desserts; there are only a few recipes I can make without having to look at a recipe. Because of that, I usually end up making those same ones again and again like this fudge. It’s hard to forget 4 ingredients and how to use the microwave. You don’t even need to dirty any dishes. On top of that, it tastes just as good as any other fudge I’ve had. That’s probably why I keep making it again and again.

    This is how I make my chocolate frosting. The ratios are never exact but it starts out with 1 c melted choc chips and then powdered sugar, splash of milk/cream, vanilla. Stir til the right consistency. You call it fudge, I call it frosting. All the same going down, right? 🙂

    Okay…no more coming here. It’s just too easy to do this in the microwave – and I’m easily influenced.

      I used regular sugar once to make peanut butter fudge. The flavor was OK but the texture was… crunchy? I just wouldn’t recommend it. Apparently you can make your own powdered sugar by running regular sugar through a food processor.

    Nutella fudge is my staple, but I should really try a new kind sometime!

    Yum! I love fudge, but I haaaaate thermometers, which you need with a lot of fudge recipes. I’m going to have to try this one out!

    Sounds like a good treat to make when we’re in a heatwave.
