Fudge
Fudge is a dessert you can enjoy year round, not just during the holidays. I can think of many times during the year when I’m hit with a craving for chocolate and a thick, rich piece of fudge certainly satisfies.
Since this fudge recipe is so easy to make, you can enjoy fudge any time you want. A small pan of fudge also makes a lovely gift to give someone – and an added bonus is that the fudge can easily be made in the microwave.

How To Make Microwave Fudge
This easy to make small batch of chocolate fudge is made with just four ingredients.
It’s a scaled down version of a recipe I always use when making big batches of fudge.
This recipe makes enough for one person – or two, if you feel like sharing.
Ingredients Needed For A Small Batch Of Fudge:
- 3 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips (1/2 cup)
- 3 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
This fudge couldn’t be easier to make.
Simply microwave the chocolate and milk together until the chocolate has mostly melted.
Next, stir in chopped walnuts if you’d like and pour into a small dish.
Refrigerate the fudge for a hour to an hour and a half until it firms up a bit, slice into small squares and enjoy!
Sweetened Condensed Milk Recipes
You will only need 3 ounces of sweetened condensed milk for this recipe. You might like to use the rest of the milk in any of these ways…
- Swap a spoonful of the milk into your coffee instead of milk and sugar.
- Drizzle over sliced fruit.
Use the remaining milk in any of these single serving and small batch recipes…
Uses For Leftover Chocolate Chips
You will also only need to use 3-ounces of chocolate chips. You might like to consider added the remaining chocolate pieces to any (or all) of these lovely single serving recipes:
- Chocolate Rice Pudding
- Flourless Chocolate Pecan Cookies
- Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie
- Chocolate Pudding
- Chocolate Candy Clusters

how much is 3 ounces of the condensed milk? like a tablespoon?
About 6 tablespoons.
This is absolutely genius!!! Portion controlled fudge! I have this pinned so I can use it again and again!
OMG this could be very dangerous, haha. I may find myself making this daily.
Ooh, I’d love to see a version of this for other fudge flavors! Penuche, vanilla, etc. … :-d
I love nuts but I love raisins more in my fudge! I’ve also made fudge with almond or orange extract instead of vanilla. One may want a mint extract instead. Different flavors for different moods 🙂
I like raisins in fudge too, Dawn. Thank you for sharing your versions.
thank you looking into this I have tried my own version I used 12 ounces of hot water I tea bag and let that steep then I added 1/3 cup of orange juice , I tablespoon of lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/8 of a teaspoon of cloves, and 1/8 of a teaspoon of ginger. It had a very strong clove taste so I think I need to cup back on the cloves. I also used honey instead of sugar. I just used that to my own taste. I hope you can help me out . Thank You
do you have a reciepe for one cup I think they called russain tea or spiced tea it had tang and lemonade mix andsome spices
Hi Sue,
No, I don’t have a recipe for this but am intrigued. I’ll have to look into it.
3 oz by volume or weight for the milk? Can’t wait to try this!
By volume, Sarah. Hope you love the recipe!
This looks delicious! It caught my eye as I was browsing your site whilst my banana bread for one is cooking… oops! Hope your daughter feels better, I've just had an operation myself and recovery was hellish!
Hi Licia,
Thank you so much. My daughter is feeling much better, hope you are feeling better as well. Hope you enjoyed the banana bread recipe.
Have a wonderful week!
Joanie
I need to try this! I've never made fudge before! It always seemed so difficult!
