To start, line this square pan with foil and then grease with 1-1\/2 teaspoons of butter.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Microwave the ingredients<\/h3>\n<p>In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and the rest of the butter for 60 seconds. Give the mix a stir, and continue to microwave in 30-second bursts until fully melted and smooth.<\/p>\n<p>Then stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Refrigerate<\/h3>\n<p>Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Refrigerate until firm. Once set, use the foil to lift the candy out of the pan. Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares. Stash the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<p>While this fudge is delicious on its own, you can also use it as a starting point for your own flavor combinations. Here are a few <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-fudge-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-fudge-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">fudge ideas<\/a> to get you started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Coconut:\u00a0<\/strong>Before the fudge is completely set, sprinkle a handful of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-coconut\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-toast-coconut\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">toasted coconut<\/a> over the top.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Crushed candies:\u00a0<\/strong>An easy way to add flavor and visual appeal to homemade fudge is to sprinkle even more candy over the top. Crush up peppermints, Oreos or even your favorite candy bar and sprinkle over the top of the fudge as it cools.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Different extracts: <\/strong>While this recipe calls for vanilla extract, you can also swap in another flavor if you like. Try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-almond-extract\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-almond-extract\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">almond extract<\/a>, peppermint extract or even a bit of orange extract. These alternative flavors are a bit more potent, cut down the amount you add by half.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nuts:\u00a0<\/strong>Nuts of all kinds are welcome in fudge. Chop up your favorite kind and stir them into the fudge. Then pour the mix into the pan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sea salt:\u00a0<\/strong>If you love the idea of sweet and salty, sprinkle coarse salt over the fudge before it sets completely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Fudge<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-long-does-fudge-last\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-long-does-fudge-last\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Fudge is best stored<\/a> in an airtight container with waxed paper between layers. It will last for 1 to 2 weeks at room temperature or up to three weeks in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to freeze fudge, wrap it tightly in waxed paper, and then in a layer of aluminum foil. Stash that package in an air-tight container in the freezer. It&#8217;ll keep well for up to a year.<\/p>\n<h2>Microwave Fudge Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1918312 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Microwave-Fudge-FT22_182932_ST_09_27_3-PDedit-1.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"A Group of Chocolate Candies on a Plate\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What if the fudge is grainy?<\/h3>\n<p>Graininess is a common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/common-fudge-mistakes-and-how-to-fix-them\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/common-fudge-mistakes-and-how-to-fix-them\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">fudge mistake<\/a>.
