Five-Minute Fudge
 

It's that easy when you use your microwave oven to make this ultra-rich classic. To store: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

 

Prep: 5 min.

Chill: 30 min.

Ingredients

  • 1  12-ounce package semisweet chocolate pieces (2 cups)

  • 2/3  cup sweetened condensed milk (one-half of a 14-ounce can)

  • 1  tablespoon water

  • 3/4  cup chopped walnuts, toasted if desired

  • 1  teaspoon vanilla

 

 Directions

Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper; set aside. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate pieces, sweetened condensed milk, and water.

Microwave, uncovered, on 100% power (high) for 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 1 minute more, or until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in nuts and vanilla. Pour mixture onto prepared cookie sheet and spread it into a 9x6-inch rectangle, or drop mixture by rounded teaspoons onto prepared cookie sheet.

Chill fudge about 30 minutes or until firm. Cut fudge into 1-1/2-inch squares. Makes 24 pieces
