Classic Chocolate Fudge

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Chocolate Fudge.

1. Step 1

   To create your delicious homemade fudge, start by grabbing a large microwave-safe bowl.

2. Step 2

   In this bowl, combine semisweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and chunks of unsalted butter.

3. Step 3

   Now, pop the bowl into the microwave and heat the mixture on medium for about 3 to 5 minutes.

4. Step 4

   Remember to stir it once or twice during this time to ensure everything melts evenly and becomes beautifully smooth.

5. Step 5

   While your chocolatey goodness is melting away, take a moment to generously grease an 8-inch square glass baking dish.

6. Step 6

   This step is crucial to prevent any sticky situations later on! Once your chocolate mixture is perfectly melted, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the chopped walnuts if you’re using them.

7. Step 7

   This adds a delightful crunch to your fudge! Next, pour the luscious chocolate mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a tempting layer.

8. Step 8

   Now comes the hardest part—patience! Place the dish in the refrigerator and let the fudge chill for about 2 hours, or until it’s set and firm to the touch.

9. Step 9

   Once it’s ready, take it out and cut it into 16 delightful squares.
