The Easiest Fudge Ever – In the Microwave!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I started writing about candy way back in 2006, and since then, I’ve created thousands of candy recipes<\/a> for other companies, written a candy cookbook<\/a>, and filmed a candy course with Craftsy<\/a>. It’s safe to say that I’ve made and eaten WAY more than my fair share of fudge over the years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old-Fashioned Fudge vs Microwave Fudge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Traditional fudge<\/strong> is actually pretty finnicky to make. It requires a candy thermometer, a long, slow boil, an even longer, slower cooling process, and a seemingly endless beating period that can exhaust the biceps of even the strongest baker. Don’t get me wrong–it’s delicious<\/em>. But it’s not a spur-of-the-moment treat you whip up when you want a little something sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why I always recommend new candy makers start with microwave fudge<\/strong>! This miracle recipe is SO fast, SO easy, and if you follow my tips, practically foolproof! The texture and flavor is different from traditional fudge, but that’s not a bad thing–even the pickiest fudge purist will appreciate the super smooth texture and caramel undertone from condensed milk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part of this recipe is that once you’ve nailed the basic version, you can make an endless variety <\/strong>of different flavors, experimenting with all kinds of extracts, mix-ins, chip flavors, and more. So let’s jump in and I’ll tell you everything you need to know to make perfect 3-minute fudge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
