Milky Way Fudge
Who knew one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever made would be the recipient of the most compliments? This easy Milky Way Fudge was made from just three ingredients. THREE. And your friends will rave. Mine did!
It’s time for another installment of Two Sweetie Pies where Danielle and I try out a recipe from each other’s blog. Her Easy Fudge Recipe was a hit!
Why You Must Make
- I made this microwave candy bar fudge on New Year’s Eve for a gathering the following day. By the time we left the party, I had promised to email the recipe to one of my friends…and her husband hinted at how much he’d love to find a second batch in his mailbox.
- Chocolate chips + one can of sweetened condensed milk + Milky Way candy bars = Dreamy Fudge.
- It’s a snap to make. And one of the easiest desserts you’ll ever make!
Ingredient Notes
- Sweetened Condensed Milk – 1 (14-ounce); I used the Eagle Brand brand.
- Semisweet Chocolate Chips – I used a 12-ounce bag of Ghirardelli brand. You may chop them for quicker melting, but I didn’t find this necessary.
- Fun-sized Milky Way Candy Bars – Chopped, divided (I used 10). Part are melted and part are mixed into the melted fudge mixture before it’s scraped into the pan.
How to Make
- Place a bag of chocolate chips, the condensed milk, and a few chopped fun-sized Milky Ways into a microwave-safe bowl.
- Zap and stir a few times till smooth, then add more chopped Milky Ways before spreading into a greased pan.
- That’s it. You barely need a recipe! The hardest part will be waiting till it cools. Pinky swear.
Recipe Tips
- I used semisweet chocolate chips. Milk chocolate chips will make a softer fudge, but you can use bittersweet chocolate chips if you’d like a richer, not-so-sweet fudge.
- You can replace the Milky Ways with the same amount of fun-sized 3 Musketeers or Snickers bars.
- Lining your pan with non-stick foil makes it easy to lift the fudge from the pan after it cools and transfer it onto a cutting board for easy slicing.
- Tip of the Day: You’ll get the cleanest squares if you cut this fudge when chilled. Bring it back to room temperature before serving for a creamier texture.

This fudge is everything! Can’t wait to make it again.
Such a great idea for Milky Way lovers!
Excellent fudge! I tried to hide it from my teenagers but that did not work at all.
Oh my goodness! Milky Ways are loved around here and using Midnight Milky Ways would be perfect because these look delicious!
Oh WOW!! I could seriously do some damage to my waistline with these. 🙂
I was half way through making this when I realised Milky Ways in America are different to Milky Ways in the UK, oops! I think the equivalent is Mars Bars but to be fair the fudge still turned out fantastic regardless.
I bet this fudge would be great with all sorts of candy bars!
Pinky swear? LOL I haven’t heard that for years. I don’t know if we can buy milky way bars here but I’m going to look. I wonder if other chocolate bars would work?
oooooh love how simple and irresistible this fudge is!
Life is funny and serendipitous, Liz. I’m just getting ready to write a post about the very subject of easy goodies are sometimes the most popular! Your milky way fudge BTW does seem completely irresistible. Pinned!
I have a strong filling this thing would be gone before lunch! Loove it! 🙂 ela
Oh Liz this recipe is too easy. It looks fabulous. Fudge is something I cannot have around because there is just no stopping myself from eating it all.
This is DECADENT!
Easy, fast and so yummy! Tahnk you Liz! The Milky Way bars in the States must be like the Mars bars we have in Europe, they have caramel inside too don’t they?
Anything with three ingredients and one of them being chocolate is totally dangerous. And real trouble for me. Can’t wait to try!
Oh wow. This fudge looks fantastic. I have actually never seen Milky Way candy bars. Maybe I need to make a trip to the States to get some 😉
LIz, What a great last minute goodie. This is going to go viral…pinning!
Any recipe that has only 3 ingredients and one of them is sweetened condensed milk definitely gets my attention. Of course you actually had it with that first picture. This is a melt in your mouth fudge!
This is sinful!
My favorite candy bar into a fudge. Yup, I’m coming over!!
Great recipe! If you add 1/8 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, it tastes even better. Just sayin’
I did debate whether to add vanilla or not. Thanks for the tip…I’ll definitely add both next time!
Liz! oh my goodness!! LOVE this!!! yum! and so cool what you do with Danielle . . love that!
glad u loved it as much as i did-and sooo easy!!!! yay!!
Great way to celebrate the new year Liz- this recipe is just too easy and good-looks dangerous to me but a definite keeper-like the idea of trying different candy in the basic recipe..could be just the thing for leftover Halloween candy (?) Anyway-I’m pinning-thanks for sharing Sweetie Pie 😉
Can you believe I’ve never attempted to make fudge? The shame. This looks so easy that I might even be able to pull it off! My hubby thanks you! 😉
LOL… I think I’ll have to move near you pretty soon. You are making me drool with all these last amazing chocolate treats. Have a blessed week, Liz!
Oh my LIz, looks amazing. I’m a Milky Way fan from way back.
Lizzy, you wicked temptress, you! Delicious. I have pinned your gorgeous photos too xo
SINful!
Utter Ridiculous SIN!
I can’t wait to eat this, make this, devour this…and perhaps,
even share this.
