Milky Way Fudge
Milky Way fudge is an easy, homemade candy that anyone can make. There's no candy thermometer required and it only takes a few minutes of active time!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Chilling Time 2 hours
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 49 pieces
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces chopped Milky Way candy bars*
Instructions
-
Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper (or wax paper or aluminum foil). Set pan aside.
-
Combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, salt, and half of the chopped candy bars in a large microwave-safe bowl.
-
Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. (Sometimes the candy bars don’t melt well, just keep stirring—it’s fine if you have a few bits of unmelted candy; you just don’t want huge chunks.)
-
Fold in the remaining candy bars, then scrape into the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
-
Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Once set, slice your fudge and serve.
Recipe Notes
- *You’ll need about 4 1/2 regular size candy bars or 14 mini candy bars.
- Uneaten Milky Way fudge can be stored in an airtight container, layered with wax paper, in the fridge for up to 1 week. It can also be stored in the freezer (again in an airtight container) for about two months.
- Be sure you use sweetened condensed milk! If you use evaporated milk your fudge will not set up.
- I like to spray my knife with cooking spray before I chop the candy—that keeps the caramel from sticking.
- Don’t add all of the candy bars in the beginning; adding half of them at the end ensures you have chunks of unmelted caramel and nougat throughout the fudge.
