Customize Your Fudge

Like previously said this delicious Microwave Fudge is super versatile! So here are some ideas to get your fudge ideas flowing.

Chocolate

You can change your chocolate source to be as bitter or sweet as you want. Try different flavors to see what you like best, from dark to even white chocolate.

Mix-Ins

Besides just a variety of nuts you can also mix in marshmallows, pretzels, or how about a peanut butter swirl? YUM!

Flavorings

Although this recipe doesn’t use any vanilla extract, you can play with different flavored extracts to up your microwave fudge game. Imagine mint fudge or orange white chocolate.

Toppings

Sprinkles are always a big hit for my kids, so why not include yours while making this easy fudge? Other topping ideas include different nuts, pretzels and to be more adventurous, try potato chips.

Storing Microwave Fudge

At room temperature, stored in an airtight container, microwave fudge can last for one to two weeks. If you refrigerate it, it can extend the shelf life up to three weeks.

Freezing Microwave Fudge

Make this Microwave Fudge ahead of time and then freeze it! This is seriously the best recipe and by freezing it you can have it whenever you want.

To freeze, make the fudge accordingly, refrigerate, and slice. From here wrap the fudge tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, and then finally place in a freezer bag. I know it’s a lot but no one wants freezer burn treats.
