Easy Chocolate Fudge-just 4 ingredients and a few minutes!
I know we always seem to be rushing Holidays. It’s not even Halloween yet. And then we still have Thanksgiving to enjoy. I love a good fried turkey for Thanksgiving. There is nothing like the skin on a fried turkey. We fight over it. Trying to pick at the turkey before we even get to the table.
But I realized this morning that today is the 25th. While I don’t want to rush Christmas, I only have 60 days to plan for, shop for, decorate for, bake for…Christmas.
I’m a planner. My plans don’t always work out. Or they get changed a hundred times. But I do try to stay organized. This 60 day realization sent me into a panic mode.
I have done no planning yet. I haven’t bought a single gift. I haven’t strolled down the Christmas isles in the stores. I feel completely unprepared.
One of my favorite things to make during the holidays is candy. Peanut Brittle, Caramels, Gumdrops and especially Fudge! I love all the ways you can dress fudge up. Add nuts, drizzle some frosting on top, stir in some caramels, the possibilities are endless. You just need to start with a good recipe.
This is that recipe. Just 4 ingredients. Once made, it doesn’t require refrigeration (unless you live in a tropical climate.) A rich chocolate flavor, good texture. It ships well if you want to send it to friends and family far away. It looks good. Yeah, I know that’s not a big thing but when you’re setting it out for a party, looks matter.
You can make this fudge in just a few minutes. Make it over and over. For every party, last minute gift, or just because you need a chocolate fix to get you through any holiday stress.

About Grace
When I was younger, I was constantly in the kitchen helping my mom bake. It was fun getting to play with the flour and always getting to lick the spoon. I’ve always expressed an interest in baking and now I feel that it’s the right time for me to take over. I am a college student working towards a nursing degree as well as a full-time aunt to the sweetest little kids (they might pop up in some of the posts). I’ve learned most of what I know about baking and cooking from my mom, and I am continuing to self-teach through trial and error, which means plenty of sweets to be eaten. Read more...

Every time I’ve tried to make fudge in the past, it never turned out…..this one sounds so simple, I figure even I can’t mess it up…… Just one question, What kind of chocolate chip should I use? (milk chocolate or semi-sweet)
Love your blog 😉Reply

Any kind of chocolate chip will work. I have changed to dark chocolate for most of my baking needs.

Cant wait to make this fudge! My 3 year old loves chocolate as much as I do, so I know he’ll be excited! Silly question, can this be froze and for how long?

I have never frozen fudge, it doesn’t last that long in my house. Sorry I’m not more help. This will stay fresh in the fridge for up to a month or just on the counter for 2 weeks.

Fudge freezes just fine. Fun to find it in the freezer later!
Amanda says
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I plan on making this on Sat for a Christmas party. I will be using dark chocolate chips (my personal fave) instead of milk or semi-sweet. Also to throw an extra flare and flavor, I’m going to to top them with sea salt crystals. Thanks again!

Can I replace foil with baking paper ?
Reply
Joan Hayes says
Yes you can, the foil is just easier to mold to the dish.
Amber Smith says
