Was very lost when you told me to line my dish with foil lol but anywho used parchment paper and it came out perfect. Thank you for the recipe
So glad to hear it Kathy! Yes, parchment paper or foil work great to ensure that the fudge is easy to remove from the pan.
OMG!!!I really needed to succeed at fudge, after an ultimate fail. Using what was supposed to be an easy marshmellow fudge recipe. The claim was that no candy thermometer was needed. Having just moved from one state to another my trusty candy thermometer had gone missing. This seemed a perfect solution. Well, with a new church group I wanted to bring a perfect treat to the Christmas party. Instead I had GRITTY fantasy fudge. I took it any way and these good ladies ate it and told me it was so good anyway. Tonight I’m going to bring this perfect fudge to Bible study. This time when they say it’s good it will be.
Thanks so much
I, who CANNOT MAKE FUDGE, made this SUCCESSFULLY!!
Yes, in less than 5 Minutes (including time to Chop Pecans) I had a BEAUTIFUL Plate of Chocolate Pecan Fudge!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU..THANK YOU!!
While this is missing the marshmallow creme that I think adds such good and creamy flavor, my microwave’s output for power is 1000W. I followed this receipt to the letter and it turned out great.
Do not put foil into microwave! Lol. Delicious, easy recipe. Thank you!
This is a great recipe!
Everyone who tasted it thought it was the best
Thank you
I’ve been making this fudge for many years now. Not only is it the easiest way to make Fudge but you really have to work to make it fail. You will be so happy because you just can’t go wrong with this recipe.
Thank you for sharing!
Loved this receipt. If the chocolate is melted after one minute, is there a need to melt it an additional minute? Our microwave heats fast. It was a little hard when I did it the second minute.
No you just heat it until it is melted.
Carrie
The two fudges are awesome easy
Delicious I made six batches for
Shop Christmas party tomorrow
Nite
Thank you for sharing awesome
Recipes easy delicious awesome
Five stars
I love your fudge!!! Do you have a recipe for butter pecan fudge that’s this easy??
Best fudge l ever tasted. So easy to make. Shared with family. They loved it.
Made this recipe adding slivered almonds and sweetened coconut….tasted just like an Almond Joy! It didn’t last long at my house!
Microwave Fudge sounds so easy. However, my husband likes the milk chocolate colored fudge rather than the dark colored chocolate fudge.
Can I use milk chocolate morsels instead of semi-sweet? Or should I use a combination of the two? Do I need to change any ingredients?
I loved how easy it is however I think next time I will add a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. It seemed in need of a little extra flavor!
I love to try your microwave recipes
Hi , are you able to freeze this fudge please ?
Yes, it will freeze great.
Thank you so much for this yummy one .
I really like your way of explaining
You got my heart.
Thank you so much Bella!
This is the recipe we have been making in the double boiler for years. How much easier this is! I would make a few suggestions/corrections: Add a dash of salt, half a teaspoon or so before microwaving. When it is finished, add a teaspoon of vanilla for the final stir. It will be pliable and you could perhaps put it into forms or roll it into a tube and then slice off round pieces or triangles for Christmas Tree shapes, for a different presentation.
Thanks for sharing Lynne!
