    Oh So Easy Chocolate Fudge: Cooks in 5 Minutes!

    June 14, 2016 Filed Under: Candy, Desserts

    Easy Homemade Chocolate Fudge - four ingredient chocolate fudge cooks in five minutes. 

    Some chocolate fudge recipes have a long list of ingredients or a complex cooking procedure that rely on achieving the perfect temperature in order to get it to set properly. That's why I love this recipe. Not only does it taste delicious, it is so easy to make and cooks in just 5 minutes.

    Easy Homemade Chocolate Fudge - four ingredient chocolate fudge cooks in five minutes.

    This recipe is from one of my favorite cookbooks: The Chocolate and Coffee Bible (affiliate link: I receive a percentage of any books purchased through this link)

    You only need a few basic ingredients, which you probably have in your kitchen: evaporated milk, sugar, salt, chocolate chips and nuts. And my favorite part is that you don't need a candy thermometer. You just bring it to a boil and simmer for five minutes. I have made the recipe a few times so I can actually feel the change in thickness of the boiling milk and sugar just when it reaches the 5 minute mark.

    I split mine into two batches right at the end and added some cashews to half, because some people do not like nuts in their fudge. Go figure!

    Ingredients
     

    • ⅔ cups evaporated milk
    • 1 ½ cup sugar
    • pinch salt
    • 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips (or dark or milk chocolate)
    • ½ cup nuts (pecans, almonds, hazlenuts, pistachios)

    Instructions
     

    • Grease an 8" square pan.
    • Place milk, sugar and salt in a heavy pot. Bring to a boil stirring constantly. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
    • Remove from heat and add chocolate and nuts (if using). Stir until chocolate is melted.
    • Pour into prepared pans and spread evenly. Let cool.
    • When fudge is set, cut into squares.
