Milky Way Fudge

Who knew one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made would be the recipient of the most compliments? This easy Milky Way Fudge was made from just three ingredients. THREE. And your friends will rave. Mine did!

It’s time for another installment of  Two Sweetie Pies where Danielle and I try out a recipe from each other’s blog. Her Easy Fudge Recipe was a hit!

Why You Must Make

• I made this microwave candy bar fudge on New Year’s Eve for a gathering the following day. By the time we left the party, I had promised to email the recipe to one of my friends, and her husband hinted at how much he’d love to find a second batch in his mailbox.
• Chocolate chips + one can of sweetened condensed milk + Milky Way candy bars = Dreamy Fudge.
• It’s a snap to make. And one of the easiest desserts you’ll ever make!

Ingredient Notes

• Sweetened Condensed Milk (affiliate link) – 1 (14-ounce); I used the Eagle Brand brand.
• Semisweet Chocolate Chips (affiliate link) – I used a 12-ounce bag of Ghirardelli brand. You may chop them for quicker melting, but I didn’t find this necessary.
• Fun-sized Milky Way Candy Bars (affiliate link) – Chopped, divided (I used 10). Part of these are melted, and part are mixed into the melted fudge mixture before it’s scraped into the pan. PRO-Tip: Freeze the chopped candy before starting the recipe so it will melt less when you mix it into the warm fudge.

How to Make 

1. Place a bag of chocolate chips, the condensed milk, and a few chopped fun-sized Milky Ways into a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Zap and stir a few times till smooth, then add more chopped Milky Ways before spreading into a greased pan.
3. That’s it. You barely need a recipe! The hardest part will be waiting till it cools. Pinky swear.

Recipe Tips

• I used semisweet chocolate chips. Milk chocolate chips will make a softer fudge, but you can use bittersweet chocolate chips if you’d like a richer, not-so-sweet fudge.
• You can replace the Milky Ways with the same amount of fun-sized 3 Musketeers or Snickers bars.
• Lining your pan with non-stick foil makes it easy to lift the fudge from the pan after it cools and transfer it onto a cutting board for easy slicing.
• Tip of the Day: You’ll get the cleanest squares if you cut this fudge when chilled. Bring it back to room temperature before serving for a creamier texture.
