My Great Grandma made the BEST fudge in the world. As, I’m sure, you’d say yours did :). My Great Grandma’s fudge was made entirely on the stovetop, employing huge amounts of butter and marshmallow fluff. We loved Christmas when we knew GG would make up a batch or two; she always included a batch without nuts (I HATE nuts in my fudge) just for me. It was heaven! Fudge and homemade peanut butter cups are what make my Christmases.
This 2-minute microwave fudge recipe is as good as Great Grandma’s. For real. I would rather have Great Grandma’s any day of the week if it was delivered by her, don’t mistake. But flavor-wise…this microwave fudge recipe can’t be beat! It’s the microwave fudge recipe I use year after year during the holidays.
We made a quick-and-easy step-by-step video that shows the process of making this great microwave fudge! Check it out below and see just how simple this recipe really is – sure to be a new favorite!
