5 Minute Homemade Fudge

A LOT.

I am just too cheap to shell out the bucks to buy it when we are out. That stuff gets expensive FAST.

Never fear - super simple and inexpensive recipe here! I made a batch of dark chocolate and a batch of peanut butter fudge for our Easter dessert!

Seriously - it took me 5 minutes to make each batch. I love that I can completely control the ingredients and know what my family is eating.

Ingredients:

3 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet for dark chocolate fudge - the better the chips, the better the fudge) 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a large microwavable bowl. Microwave for 4 - 5 minutes stirring each minute until all chips are melted and ingredients are mixed together.

Pour into a greased 8 x 8 pan and let cool. Once cool, refrigerate until solid. Cut and serve!

I got some really good chips and name brand condensed milk. Each batch ended up costing me about $6 and is really tasty. If I had coupons, it would be a good deal cheaper!

I love how creative I can be with this recipe! I'm going to layer peanut butter and chocolate next time. I also look forward to experimenting with chocolate and mint fudge.

Imagine - dark chocolate fudge served with sliced fresh strawberries and a dash of powdered sugar. Yum!

A decadent dessert that doesn't break the budget!
