Ingredients Notes
Here are the three ingredients you'll need for this recipe
Chocolate chips - I used semi-sweet. Feel free to use dark chocolate! I feel like white or milk will be to sweet.
Sweetened condensed milk - Make sure you use sweetened condensed milk, and not evaporated milk. They both come in cans, so it's easy to confuse the two!
M&M's - I used regular-sized, but you can use mini ones as well!
Step by step instructions
Here is how to make these 3 ingredient M&M fudge. You will need an 8×8 square pan lined with parchment paper, a large mixing bowl, and a spatula.
Step 1 - Prepare pan. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper or foil. If using foil, grease with oil. Set aside.
Step 2 - Melt chocolate chips and condensed milk together. In a large bowl, melt the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. I like to do this using a double boiler method.
This is when you place a pot of water on the stove and add the bowl on top. Make sure the water and bowl aren't touching. The heat from the water warms the bowl which in turn melts the chocolate!
Step 3 - Add M&M's. Remove from heat and toss in the regular-sized M&M's and mix in.
Step 4 - Spread out evenly. Transfer into your prepared pan and spread out evenly. Top off with extra M&M's if desired.
Step 5 - Chill. Place the fudge into the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours minimum. When ready, remove, slice, and enjoy!
I keep this fudge refrigerated during the hot summer days, and I recommend you do the same!
Expert Baking Tips
Here are a few baking tips from my kitchen to yours
- Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips. I think that milk or white would be to sweet for this!
- Not a fan of M&M's? Add in your favourite chocolate or candy!
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
- When ready to slice, remove from the pan and cut on a cutting board. This will give you easier and cleaner cuts!
FAQ
My chocolate condensed milk mixture is clumpy?
This means you have burned your chocolate. Make sure you are using a double boiler method, or melting it in 15 second intervals in the microwave and stirring between each time.
What is a double boiler method?
A double boiler method is a kitchen tool used for applying gentle heat on the stovetop to melt down ingredients.
To do a double boiler method: Grab a large saucepan and add 1-2 inches of water. Place on the stove top on medium heat. Grab your heat-proof bowl and put it on top of the pan. It's important that the water doesn't touch the bowl.
Add the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk into the bowl. The steam from the simmering water will warm the contents of the bowl gently with indirect heat.
I prefer using this method for melting down ingredients rather than using a microwave because a microwave can give you inconsistent distribution of heat on your ingredients.
