1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
04 -
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
→ Optional Additions

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Assemble all ingredients and prepare a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or use a silicone mold for easy removal.
02 -
In the microwave-safe bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, and softened unsalted butter. Mix to blend. Add cocoa powder and stir thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and homogeneous.
03 -
Microwave the mixture on high power for 2 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
04 -
Stir the mixture vigorously to ensure even consistency. Return the bowl to the microwave and heat on high power for an additional 2 minutes.
05 -
Fold in chopped nuts, if using, stirring until evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
06 -
Pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 1 hour, allowing the fudge to cool and set completely.
07 -
Once completely chilled, remove the fudge from the pan and cut into squares. Serve and enjoy.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
For the best texture, use high-quality cocoa powder and real butter. Adding nuts is optional, but pecans, walnuts, or almonds work particularly well. Store finished fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
