1. They’re all made in one bowl. Just throw the ingredients in one bowl and cook.
2. They’re “cooked” in the microwave. You only need 60 seconds!
3. The chocolate/turtle and the peppermint/maple are just variations of the same recipe, making these SUPER easy (just watch the video above if you don’t believe me!)
4. They’re made in a mini cupcake/muffin tin! <– this is my favorite thing about this microwave fudge recipe. Why? Just think about it! You’ll line a mini cupcaketin with cupcake liners, fill ’em up, let ’em chill and then you’ve got a perfectly packaged little bite sized treat that’s ready for gifting! Anybody else hate cutting fudge?!

First up,

“regular” chocolate fudge

Like I said, it’s just a halved version of my easy chocolate fudge. It’s classic, creamy, and all you do is put powdered sugar, butter, chocolatemilk, cocoa powder in a bowl. Microwavefor 60 seconds, then stir in vanilla extract. Done!

Next,

White chocolate peppermint fudge

Swap the chocolate milk for plain milk. Take out the cocoa powder. Add white chocolate chips, peppermint extract, and crushed peppermint candy and there you have it: peppermint fudge! You guyyyyys. This one might be my favorite. It’s so light and fresh and creamy and I love the crunch from the crushed candy!

Then we have,

Turtle fudge

Make the “regular chocolate fudge” base, add chopped pecans, and then top with the easiest caramel. Ready? Place caramel and heavy cream into a microwave safe measuring cup, melt, and pour over the fudge! This one is ooey, gooey deliciousness, and you can’t beat the classic sweet/salty combo!

Lastly,

Maple fudge

Take the peppermint fudge base, but nix the peppermint extract and peppermint candies and add maple extract (it’s right by the other extracts in the grocery store) and salted cashews. This fudge is CRAZY creamy, ultra sweet (in the best way possible), and I love the rich full flavorthis fudgehas.

Whether you love classic fudge, chocolate, white chocolate, mint, caramel, maple, sweet, or salty – we’ve got all the bases covered with these microwave fudge recipes!

And don’t forget, the best part is that these are all made in the microwave and amini muffin tin, so they’re super quick and all ready perfectly packaged for gifting!

Happy Holidays!
