Going to try this tomorrow. Thanks!
I’ve made this fudge version – I made it for someone because they loved fudge. I usually use another method of making fudge. There’s a town in Mich. during the summer they make fudge and will have the door open. There’s a screen door – and the smell brings you in – you can watch and smell them making it for 2 blocks. Many fudge recipes call for marshmellow creme – and yes you must work fast because it hardens quickly. Most candy recipes you have to work fast with the final step. Especially with candy in the soft ball or hard ball stage.
Having a stressful afternoon Now eating this fudge with a spoon while waiting for it to cool. Yummy with walnuts, marshmallows and semi-sweet chips. Can’t verify the cooled consistency, maybe next time.
If you’re not going to make it the way the recipe asks then you haven’t made this fudge. You’ve made something else. I’ve made this fudge before and it hardens quickly, yours didn’t harden because you changed it and used marshmallow cream. lol
Marshmallows…..like the rocky road version called for. Didnt harden because it was eaten before it hardened.
It is the best fudge I have ever made. I add vanilla flavor or any other flavors
how much vanilla do you add?
I can’t wait to get home so I can try it…. Looks so yummy
how much vanilla do you use?
Vanilla? Probably none since it says there are only two ingredients.
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Karon, The one for mint calls for 1 tsp, maybe it be the same for vanilla.
yes any added flavor 1tsp is enoughalso fun for holidays is use white choc chips and add 1-2 drops of food color to make asst colors
I will try this at Christmas time for sure thank you for sharing
I just saw this…I just read it…I just made it! It’s in the fridge now….SO easy!!!
This recipe didn’t do it for me. It’s good and very easy but it lacks the buttery touch of other recipes. Just adding some butter and a bit of vanilla extract and a dash of salt would help a lot and not overcomplicate it.
Make this recipe all the time but I melt a “blob” of peanut butter in the choc or peanut butter chips, makes it creamier.
To those of you wondering about how much vanilla extract to use, I’ve always stirred in 1 tsp of vanilla to the chocolate mixture, AFTER it has been removed from the stovetop and before I pour it into an 8×8-inch square pan that I have lined with wax paper that I have either greased with margarine or sprayed with buttery Pam spray. I first made this recipe back in 1974. Here in Canada, sweetened condensed milk is only available in 10-ounce cans (300 ml), but I still use 3 cups of chocolate chips, about 1 pound (500 grams).
I prefer it with semi-sweet chocolate chips, my daughter prefers it with milk chocolate chips or half semi-sweet & half milk chocolate, and my hubby will eat any as long as I haven’t turned it into a Terry’s Chocolate Orange version. It takes about 2 hours to firm up in the fridge. I remove it from the fridge, let it sit on the counter for 5-15 minutes, depending on how warm the room is, then I turn it onto a cutting board and peel off the wax paper. After I’ve cut it into squares or strips, it goes back into the fridge, or freezer, in a tightly covered container. Keeps great.
What is two recipe
Huh? This is a two ingredient recipe for fudge. Is that what you mean?
can you use york peppermint patties
I make this fudge every once in a while so it isn’t news to me since I’ve been making it for a number of years. But, I add a 3rd ingredient to knock the flavor up a few notches. I add a couple tablespoons of butter while mixing. I also prefer the semi sweet chocolate since Eagle brand sweetened condense milk is very sweet. I don’t like nuts in my fudge. I prefer to make my fudge on the stovetop rather than the microwave.
For Gale: Add a little peppermint extract. That’s what I use when I’m in a minty chocolate fudge mood.
Question: between the chips and milk, is it TOO sweet?
No
Made this today, added 1 tsp vanilla. It is delicious. My family has voiced no complaints!
Years ago this recipe was on the side of the can of Bordens sweetened condensed milk.
We made it for every special occasion as it was a quick no fail go to sort of thing.
Back then there were only unsweetened chocolate squares and chips which went well
With the sweet ness of the condensed milk.
Nice to see it’s still popular
I have made this with many types of chips.White chocolate or yogurt chips are great. And putting dried cranberries is so good! At Christmastime, a batch with cranberries and a batch with green pistachios or green candied cherries is pretty and yummy!
I made this for the first time today and so far all I get is nice frosting. Recipe didn’t mention anything about vanilla or how long in microwave other than check it every 30 seconds till melted. Will just use for frosting in future.
