Three-Ingredient Holiday Fudge

It’s cookie baking season and I’m already feeling behind on getting started. In addition to cookies, I always like to add homemade fudge to my cookie trays. People love fudge and it’s a nice mix with cookies. Best of all though – fudge is super easy to make and doesn’t require any baking!

I’ve made a couple of holiday fudge recipes on this blog, but I thought it would be a good time to share the base recipe for the simplest holiday fudge ever: chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and some extract of your choosing. That’s all you need.

The flavor possibilities are pretty endless. You can change up the types of chocolate that you use (white, dark, milk, semi-sweet), the flavor extracts, and of course the mix-ins and toppings! This recipe is for the simple base recipe. I used a combo of dark chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate. I used vanilla extract and topped with fun holiday sprinkles. You can’t go wrong with this simple holiday fudge!

Recipe Tips and Suggestions:

• This recipe really is just a base recipe. That means you can add lots of different things or change the base up a bit as long as the overall measurements are the same for the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk.
• You can mix up the chocolate in the recipe as well. I used a mix of dark chocolate and semi-sweet. You can use just one type if you prefer, mix, or even swirl white chocolate into semi-sweet or dark chocolate. Totally up to you!
• If you are planning to decorate the fudge with sprinkles, you will want to be sure to sprinkle those on right after you get the mixture into the pan before it sets.
• Extract suggestions: peppermint, vanilla, almond, raspberry, etc.
• Suggested mix-ins: chopped nuts, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, dried fruit, candy (like M&Ms), mini marshmallows, etc.
