5-Minute Chocolate Fudge Recipe

Indulge in the decadent delight of homemade chocolate fudge with this quick and easy recipe. In just five minutes, you can whip up a creamy, chocolatey treat that’s perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings or sharing with friends and family.

Ingredients:

• 1 2/3 cups white sugar
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 (6 ounce) package milk chocolate chips
• 16 large marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

How To Make 5-Minute Fudge:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and measure them out beforehand to streamline the cooking process.
2. Cook Sugar Mixture: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine sugar, evaporated milk, butter, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Let it boil for 5 minutes, continuing to stir.
3. Add Chocolate Chips: Once the sugar mixture has boiled for 5 minutes, add the milk chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Incorporate Marshmallows and Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the marshmallows, vanilla extract, and chopped nuts (if using). Mix well until the marshmallows are fully melted and the ingredients are evenly combined.
5. Set and Serve: Quickly transfer the fudge mixture into a prepared pan lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil, spreading it out evenly. Let the fudge cool and set at room temperature for at least 1-2 hours, or until firm. Once set, cut the fudge into squares and serve.

Tips:

• Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the sugar mixture from scorching.
• Stir the mixture constantly while it boils to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
• Feel free to customize the fudge by adding your favorite mix-ins, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut.
• Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life. Enjoy it straight from the fridge or let it come to room temperature before serving for a softer texture.
