How to Make Microwave Fudge – Step by Step
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
Line a square 8×8 pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step 2: Combine and Microwave
Combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir and then microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir in the vanilla and mix until the fudge is smooth.
Step 3: Pour into Pan
Transfer the microwave fudge to the prepared pan.
Step 4: Add Toppings
Add the candy corn and sprinkles on top. Make sure to press the toppings down slightly so they stick into the fudge.
Step 5: Cool and Slice
Set the fudge aside to cool to room temperature– about 2 hours. Remove the fudge from the pan and slice into your desired size. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Tips and Notes
- Line your pan: for easier removal and cutting of your fudge, line your pan with parchment paper that overhangs on the sides. This will also make cleanup much easier.
- Topping: I added candy corn and fall colored sprinkles to the top of the fudge, but feel free to customize your toppings or sprinkle colors to match whatever holiday or event you are celebrating!
How long does fudge last?
Freshly made fudge will last up to one week when stored in an airtight container on the counter or in the pantry. The key is keeping it at room temperature to prevent it from melting. You can also freeze your microwave fudge to enjoy at a later date.
Can you freeze fudge?
Yes, you can definitely freeze this microwave fudge. Store in a freezer zipper bag or airtight container for up to 6 months in the freezer. Thaw the fudge on the counter before serving.
Does fudge need to be refrigerated?
No, you do not need to refrigerate this microwave fudge recipe. In fact I think it tastes better when stored at room temperature. This prevents the fudge from drying out and losing its richness.
Is this microwave fudge gluten free?
This fudge recipe is gluten free. If using the candy corn as a topping, be sure to check labels first. Most brands of candy corn that I have checked have been gluten free including Brach’s and Jelly Belly.
