We love fudge and this easy version is quick and delicious! Super versatile too.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
This is the quickest and easiest fudge recipe you will ever make! It only takes a few minutes and it is so good. I cut this into small pieces and keep it in my fridge for when I am craving something sweet, and since I am a chocoholic, it makes the perfect treat.
SWAPS & ADDITIONS
This a super versatile and straightforward base recipe. You can easily switch out the chips, could use peanut butter or butterscotch or a combination. We have made this with butterscotch and it was delicious. You could also add in some raisins, take out the nuts, add in coconut. This is a recipe you can really play with.

⭐TIP
This is a softer style fudge, not super hard and I feel like it is even better the next day, so you can easily make this in advance.

- 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk

Dump the milk and chocolate chips into a microwave safe glass bowl. Microwave 1 minute and 30 seconds. Remove and stir until smooth. Add vanilla extract and nuts. Mix well and pour into a sprayed 9 x 9 dish. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Cut into squares. Makes about 24 pieces depending on size you cut your squares
I have tried this with fat free condensed milk and it does not get as hard as the whole condensed milk but could not tell much difference in the taste.
