Best Fudge Recipe (in Only 5 Minutes!)

There’s just something so sinful and perfect about fudge. Especially one that takes only minutes to make.

There’s a reason this is the best fudge recipe, because it’s so simple and yet so incredibly good.

I love the creamy texture and smooth chocolaty taste. They combine just perfectly. And the marshmallows add that soft and creamy texture that makes this fudge so unique.

Whether sprinkled with walnuts or left plain, it’s absolutely delicious.

Sometimes, I’ll even hold off on adding the marshmallows for just a few seconds until the chocolate starts to cool so they won’t melt all the way. Instant rocky road fudge that is seriously the best!!

With the sprinkling of chopped walnuts it almost reminds me of a bite of a snickers bar.

Just store your best fudge recipe sealed in an air tight container and it will be great for a couple of weeks!

Or sort it out onto goody trays to share with friends and neighbors. A single recipe makes a lot of fudge, so it’s great for those holiday goody plates.

I usually dish up some super soft sugar cookies and this best ever fudge with a few caramels and it makes such a nice treat plate to bring to new neighbors, gatherings, or to pass out for Christmas.

  3. This looks simple and easy to make. Perfect for my tween daughter to try, she is really into cooking right now.

    • Yes, 1 (14 oz) can. I updated the recipe so that was a little more clear. Try cooking your chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk in :30 second intervals, stirring between each. If you overcook chocolate chips, they turn stiff and grainy which will ruin the whole recipe. I’m wondering if you may have overcooked the chocolate?

      I just made this fudge again last week and added extra marshmallows once the mixture had just cooled (so the additional marshmallows wouldn’t melt) to make a “rocky road” fudge and it was as delicious and easy as always!

  12. Just made and could not get marshmallow s to melt. Chocolate was smooth but marshmallow s would not melt so when I put in pan marshmallow s made it lumpy..

    • You’ll need to add the mashrmallows immediately when you pull your chocolate out of the microwave while everything is still hot. If you add marshmallows when it’s started to cool, it’ll make a delicious rocky road fudge!

  15. I JUST made this fudge but over a double boiler…the boiling water underneath the pan kept it warm enough to quickly melt the chocolate an marshmallows when I added them at the end.. I believe this is the key to this recipe.

  16. I just made this fudge. Very easy and it tastes just like the old hard to make fudge recipe. Just don’t over cook it.

  17. What do the marshmallows do for this recipe I usually use just chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk with a bit of vanilla and it’s amazing. So just curious if it maybe gives it a denser chewy style fudge since mine usually is a bit of a softer fudge

    • I haven’t tried the fudge without, so I can’t really speak to how their different. But if you get the marshmallows not-all-the-way melted they are super, super soft admid the already soft fudge. If you get them all the way melted then I think it just adds a creamy element to the fudge! I like mine not quite melted it feels like rocky road fudge!

  18. In the recipe it sounds like you add the nuts to the mixture but the pictures look like they are just on top which is if?

  20. Can you taste the condensed milk ? I really don’t like it so I was wondering if you can tell it’s in the fudge ?
