It doesn’t get any easier than this homemade 2 ingredient fudge! Creamy and decadent fudge that only takes 5 minutes to make. Perfect for parties and gifting!
I love making and gifting fudge this time of year! It’s fun to switch up fudge flavors for everyone to enjoy. Be sure to also try my best fantasy fudge, this festive eggnog fudge, and my classic vanilla fudge. They’re all so creamy and smooth!
What is 2 Ingredient Fudge?
This two ingredient fudge is the easiest to make because it really has only 2 simple ingredients. Chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Any recipe that only has two ingredients is a winner in my book. It doesn’t require a thermometer and it is the the fastest and easiest fudge you’ll ever make.
I’m always looking for desserts to make that are easy and only require a few ingredients. A few of my favorite easy dessert recipes are these oreo balls, my no-bake cookies, or simple cheesecake stuffed strawberries.
Ingredients to Make Fudge
Only 2 ingredients are needed to make this indulgent treat. It’s hard to believe it’s that simple, but it is! That’s what makes this the easiest 2 ingredient fudge in the world.
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: I prefer semi-sweet but use any flavor of chocolate chips you want.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: The key ingredient to making this fudge. It adds the sweetness and texture to the creamy fudge.
2 Ingredient Fudge Recipe
Combine the 2 fudge ingredients in a mixing bowl, heat in the microwave, then stir until the chocolate is melted. That’s all it takes! Follow my detailed instructions below on the recipe card. You’ll be enjoying this 2 ingredient fudge in no time!
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×5 inch bread pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with pan spray. You may use an 8×8 pan instead, but the fudge will not be as thick.
- Melt and Combine the Chocolate Chips and Sweetened Condensed Milk: Add the chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk to a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Heat in the microwave for about 3 minutes, using 45-second intervals at 50% power. Stir after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted. The mixture will be thick and begin to look matte when it is done.
- Transfer to the Pan and Set the Fudge: Lastly, transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press over the top smoothing the fudge with a rubber spatula or an offset spatula. Cover and let sit for at least 2 hours, or until completely set and firm.
- Cut the Fudge and Enjoy: Once set, use the parchment to lift the fudge from the pan then cut into squares.
Fudge Tips and Variations
You’re going to love this easy fudge recipe! Here are a few tips and tricks on making the tastiest 2 ingredient fudge possible. You’ll be a pro!
- Add-Ins: Try stirring in sprinkles, nuts, coconut, or candy.
- Pan Size: Make your fudge thick or thinner depending on the pan size. Any pan will work, just remember to line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Fudge Flavors: Switch up the flavors by using milk chocolate chips, mint chips, or butterscotch chips. Even white chips would be delicious!
Storing Leftover Fudge
You can store leftover fudge in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Keep for up to 7 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. It will still be edible after that time, but it may become dry and crumbly.

Can you freeze the fudge?
Yes, it can be frozen! Wrap it in a layer or two of plastic wrap before a layer of aluminum foil and then place the fudge in an airtight container or a freezer ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Let the fudge come to room temperature before enjoying!
Hi. Just found the amazing recipe. If I use one bag of chocolate chips and one bag of peanut butter chips, would I need two cans of sweetened condensed milk? I plan on splitting the batter between two loaf pans. Thanks.
Hi JoAnne, thank you for your question.
For every 4 cups of chips (chocolate or peanut butter) you will need one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk.
If you plan to use 2 cups of chocolate chips and 2 cups of peanut butter chips, you will only need one can of sweetened condensed milk. If you plan to use 4 cups of chocolate chips and 4 cups of peanut butter chips, you will need 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk.
I hope this helps!

I use this recipe all the time. Use white chips, peppermint extract and smashed candy canes for Christmas. I have also used used peanut butter and butterscotchchips.
