How Do You Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge In The Microwave

We microwave in 10-20 second increments to ensure we don’t over-heat the ingredients. If you do so you will burn the chocolate, and let us say, not fun and it stinks.

How Do You Make Fudge With Condensed Milk and Chocolate Chips

Now you could make the chocolate layer of this fudge. condensed milk, chocolate chips, and two tablespoons of butter are all you need.

It creates one of the creamiest fudge textures we have ever had, and it is a breeze to whip up.

Should we Put Fudge In The Fridge

To get this fudge to set up, we always put in the fridge for 2-3 hours. But, if you are in no rush you can leave at room temperature.

A lot of people prefer the texture of cold fudge, but it is all preference. store your fudge in an airtight container whether you store on the counter or fridge.

As a note, the fridge will dry out your fudge quicker, so try to eat it faster.

Can You Freeze Fudge Made with Condensed Milk

Yes! wrap the fudge up in aluminum foil, and then place in a freezer bag or airtight container. Then you can freeze any fudge you won’t be eating right away. Thaw and serve.
