Ingredients Needed For Chocolate Microwave Fudge (screenshot for grocery list)

  • Dark Chocolate Chips
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • White Chocolate Chips
  • Mallow Bits, mini hot chocolate marshmallows

How Do You Make Hot Chocolate Layered Fudge

  1. In a microwave safe bowl; combine white chocolate chips with 5 Tablespoons sweetened condensed milk.
  2. In a separate bowl; combine dark chocolate chips with remaining sweetened condensed milk.
  3. Line a square 9×9 pan (or 8×8) with foil or parchment paper and generously grease with butter or shortening.
  4. Microwave dark chocolate 30 seconds, stir. Microwave 15 seconds then stir vigorously until chocolate is smooth. Transfer mixture into prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
  5. Microwave white chocolate 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. Spread mixture on top of dark chocolate layer. (This will take some finesse to spread into a thin layer)
  6. Top with mini marshmallows then gently press down.
  7. Refrigerate at least 6 hours to set.
  8. Remove fudge and foil from pan. Carefully peel all foil from fudge.
  9. Cut fudge into bite sized pieces and serve.

I use the white chocolate layer just to stick the marshmallows on top. Some readers have wanted a thicker layer of white chocolate. If you prefer a thick white layer feel free to increase the white chocolate layer ingredients to fit your preference.

    It’s a great recipe! Can you freeze it and how long does it last? Also is there a substitute for the condensed milk?

    Thanks

      Thanks Carly! I know some folks freeze fudge but I personally do not like the consistency of fudge after it has been thawed out. So I never freeze it. As far a a sub for condensed milk, that would be an entirely different fudge recipe. Their are many recipes that do not use sweetened condensed milk if you do a google search or look on pinterest πŸ™‚

      I eat my batches of fudge for about a week. After that they tend to get stale.

    Could I mix this fudge into a mug of hot milk and expect a hot chocolate drink? Or would that not work? It’s probably to dense to melt in milk.

    Most of the white chocolate chips I have tried taste really “off”. The brand I recommend (& so does America’s test kitchen) is Guittard brand Choc-au-Lait chips. They have a lovely creamy vanilla flavor & no odd chemical notes. I will be using it to try out your recipe which sounds wonderful! Thanks!

      Yes, the double boiler method should work fine. I can’t say for how long because I do not use that method. Enjoy!

    Hi, could I use milk chocolate instead of dark, I have some in the fridge to use up. Or does it need dark to take away the richness of the white?

    How do you store this? Just wrap in wax paper/foil on the counter? Or can it just sit out if it’s for a day? I don’t want it to dry out for tomorrow’s party:)

    Reply
    • Nicole Harris says

      December 2, 2016 at

      I cover it with plastic wrap to keep it from drying out. You can leave it on your counter or in the refrigerator. If you do refrigerate it just take it out 1-2 hours before the party to soften. Enjoy!

      You can use a 9×13 pan and the fudge will have thicker layers. If you have a dish larger than 9×13 that will work. Or, obviously two 9×9 pans πŸ™‚

    Looking forward to trying this! Has anyone tried using parchment paper instead of foil? I’m wondering if it would be easier to peel off.

    Probably going to taste good but there’s no way that was enough white choc mix to cover the dark layer! I lost an inch all the way around the pan!

      December 14, 2016 at

      Yes, the white chocolate is really just for sticking the mallows to the fudge. If you prefer a complete white chocolate layer you can definitely double the amount. Happy Holidays πŸ™‚

    Thanks so much for this yummy recipe! I made it for Christmas and it was a big hit with the family. I made it using milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate chips (as mentioned in the comments), since my family doesn’t care for dark and it came out great.
    For the pan I used my silicon square pan so no prep was required, I just poured the chocolate directly in it, put it in the fridge and peeled the pan away once it cooled. If you haven’t used silicon pans before I highly recommend them for fudge and butterscotch, (but I still like metal pans for oven cake/bread baking).

    You are going to have someone set their home on fire with this recipe. Foil should NEVER be used in a microwave.

      That’s why the chocolate is microwaved in Microwave Safe Bowls then transferred to the foil lined pan once melted. The foil never goes into the microwave. (per the instructions)

      It takes about 10 minutes to make. But, it needs to set in the refrigerator for 6 hours. You could probably get away with 4 hours in a pinch.

    I used PB chips and I have to say it really takes a lot of finesse to spread them on top of the chocolate. I think the next time I will let the chocolate set for several hours and then spread the PB chips on top.

    Both my dark chocolate and white chocolate were extremely thick. I pressed it down and when I put the marshmallows on they were not going in but sitting on top. I put it in the fridge and hopefully it will take but I don’t think so. I followed the recipe exactly. Is this normal? Looks great I hope it works!!
