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!
