Hello and welcome back to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am your host Matt Taylor. Today I am going to show you how to make Fudge, mmm yummy, love me some fudge. This fudge recipe is super easy to make, and only takes 3 ingredients, couldn’t be easier. One of my favorite treats to eat during the holidays is fudge, so here we go simple easy fudge recipe, if I can do it, you can do it, let’s get started. All right lets go ahead and take a large bowl, microwave safe, I am using a pyrex one, now we take one can of sweetened condensed milk, and this can is 14 ounces or 396 grams. Pour it in, use a spatula to get it all out. Now we take a quarter cup this is about 56 to 60 grams of butter, go ahead and put that in there. And now we are going to go ahead and heat this up in the microwave, until it gets really hot and the butter melts, umm I am going to do it for 2 to 3 minutes, it might, it will depend on your microwave, mine is a 1200 watt microwave, if you have an 1100 watt or 1000 watt it might take a little bit longer, just go ahead and start with 2 minutes and see how hot it gets we want it to be fairly hot, and the butter melted. All right now that our butter is melted, it took about 2 minutes and 15 seconds in my microwave. I am going to go ahead and add my chocolate, now you can use all milk chocolate, or you could use all semi-sweet, or all dark chocolate, but you can do like I said, you can do whatever combination that you want, it will be awesome. Let’s go ahead and pour that in there, and then we are just going to let this sit for a moment in our mixture, just let it sit for about 3 or 4 minutes, and then we are going to stir it all together. All right once we have given our chocolate a chance to sit there in the hot condensed milk we are going to go ahead and start stirring it around, now if you want to add more ingredients, you certainly can, at this stage you can add nuts, like walnuts, and you can add um vanilla extract if you like. All right I am loving this consistency right there, that is exactly what you want it to be like, it is like a really really thick frosting. All right, and now, let’s go ahead and take, this is an 8 by 11 glass pan, or you can use a metal one, 9 by 9, whatever shape that you want to do, and what I did is a took some parchment paper or baking paper in here, and to get it to stay on the bottom, optionally I just sprayed it with some kitchen spray, and it helps it to stick. Let’s go ahead and pour this all in there, and you want to work fairly quickly it is not super necessary, to um like rush, but you do want to work fairly quickly, because it cools down pretty quick, get it all in there, and then just go ahead and spread it out...

I wonder why fudge sells for $16. a pound! A person could buy terrific steaks for that price; yet it costs so very little to make.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes this particular fudge recipe doesn't cost much at all to make. But the traditional fudge takes more ingredients and it takes more time to make, so I can certainly see why it costs more. mmmm steak....lol :)

[@Jj-ds7mk]

Fudge and chocolates are often handmade or hand-dipped, like See's, so labor intensive.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@Jj-ds7mk Very true! :)

[@darknessblades]

in the EU fudge cost about 9 euro per kilogram the following recipe makes about 800 grams. chocolate cost 50ct per 100 gram condensed milk cost 2 euro per 400gram. you need 4 packs of chocolate and 1 can of condensed milk which is about 4-5 euro. this its just about half of the cost of a regular pack of fudge. but the difference is that store bought can be kept longer after opening/making it. due preservatives inside the fudge

[@elle-iza]

Well, it's a lot of work to do, and people somehow like to get paid for the work they do. "...yet it costs so very little to make." Let's try this argument with our hairdressers next time. They already had the chair and the scissors and the comb, 2 - 3 liters of water, a dollop of shampoo and a bit of hair product cost so very little, yet they charge us, what, 20 bucks. 😄

I tried it. Turned out great, it's tasty but it doesn't seem to settle into very hard blocks. Wonder why?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi Chris! So glad you tried them out and liked them. How long did you let it sit in the fridge?

[@tianaraukura2607]

I leave mine to set overnight. Sometimes 2-3 hours isn't enough to set so if you leave it in the fridge to set overnight it should be perfect and I recommend not putting butter in your fudge. I tried it, it was great but not that good But without butter its delicious. Also its a great product to sell. People love it and they will buy it also if you sell it, by the end of the year you'll probably be rich. I just finished selling it today and after 1 hour or two I got a $112 in just one hour and I'm only 14 years old

[@tianaraukura2607]

Also if you leave them out for too long like if its near the sun or just sitting on the bench its most likely to melt and it won't stay in a hard consistency. You can leave it in the fridge or freezer

[@Doobosie]

I made a batch of this last week, following your recipe. No microwave safe bowl so I heated in a pot on the stove over low heat. Worked perfectly and the fudge was delicious! Will be making another batch soon for holiday gifts!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome so glad you tried it! Yes you don't have to use the microwave, it just makes it "quick" fudge, haha. I am happy you will make it again. :) Happy Holidays!!

[@Larry-qf7lw]

Just confirming did you heat the condensed milk directly in a bowl on low heat or did you double boil, if directly, will there be chances of the base getting brown on account of the heat,

[@Doobosie]

​@@Larry-qf7lw I heated it directly in the pot with the butter. I scraped the bottom with a silicone spatula a few times throughout to prevent any chance of burning or browning.

[@Larry-qf7lw]

@@Doobosie thank you very much for your prompt reply. So the flame was low. How much time did it take to get the contents hot so as to melt the chocolate when taking it off the flame

[@Doobosie]

@@Larry-qf7lw Np! I didn't time it, just watched and moved the butter around until it fully melted and then about 2-3 minutes after that. I would say around 10-15 minutes total time on the heat.

There's a few tricks when making fudge and a big one is not to make it when it's humid, raining or even drizzling, those all affect the setting of fudge.

[@ashleykaysimpleeasy30]

I wonder if you could make the peanut butter fudge using this same technique? Instead of using Chocolate you'd use the peanut butter chips? And since I've already tried your chocolate fudge using this technique, Plus some walnuts. I'm gonna try the Reese's Peanut Butter Chips. Oh and also I've found that adding a tablespoon of marshmallow cream to your recipe will help as well. Thank you for sharing this video

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hello Ashley! You most certainly can...hehe kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3eapWx5i6usi6M here is the video I made for peanut butter fudge.

[@dreamdesign2022]

I made it and it's good. I used a pot to make it in on the stove stirring it on low until the chocolate melted. I don't like using the microwave if I don't need to. I used 2 100 gram chocolate bars one dark chocolate and one milk chocolate so that was 200 grams total for those then used 200 grams total of chocolate chips. Turned out really good. So easy and so yummy and now that i've made it I won't buy it for a hiked up price no more don't need to LOL Thanks for sharing, great video!!

Yes Matt this is the recipe but I do not have a microwave but a heavy bottomed stainless steel pan, can you guide me how I should go about. You have only kept the stuff in the micro and then it gets hot for you to proceed, can I make the same in my heavy bottomed stainless steel vessel and how long should I stir the condensed milk butter etc. then I put the chocolate, I am only using the dark chocolate, how many grams is it, then I proceed like you did. Please Matt please guide me because I want the outcome to be as good as yours. Thank you

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yes you can do it in a heavy bottomed steel pan. Add the chocolate (400g) to a mixing bowl. Heat up the sweetened condensed milk and the butter until it is really hot but not boiling. And make sure to keep stirring it so it doesn't burn. Then pour that over the chocolate. Let it sit for a few minutes then stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Then pour it into a pan lined with parchment paper.

Why is mine so sticky! Everything I make is to sticky!!! I did that exact thing, I took the sweetened condensed milk and a shredded bar of mildly sweet chocolate, mixed it in, heated it up, mixed it, put it in the ready pan with the paper under it, but it’s just so sticky! How can I fix this??

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You only used one bar of chocolate? You need to make sure you use the right amount of chocolate. 2 and 1/4 cups total of chocolate. Heat the sweetened condensed milk up first really hot, as I showed in the video. So no you didn't do the exact thing if you combined the chocolate and milk first.

Just follow this recipe and melt the marshmallows when heating up the sweetened condensed milk. set it for 30 seconds on high, then stir then 30 seconds, stir, until the sweetened condensed milk is hot and the marshmallows are all melted.

You are welcome! For vanilla fudge follow this video and leave out the Oreos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJSWfKqso9xopJY and add an additional teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra vanilla flavor.

Thanks! All the ingredients and amounts are listed in the description box. If you are on a mobile there is a triangle under the video on the right side that you press to reveal the description box. Of on a computer just scroll down to under the video and select "show more". On the screen of the video it does say 400g at 1:42 in the video. On your packages of chocolate chips it will list the grams as well as the ounces. It is about 2 1/4 cups worth of chocolate chips.

In the step where you mentioned you could add nuts or what ever, could you swirl some peanut butter around in there?

If you make it in the microwave, can you use marshmallow cream as well? Or does that need to be cooked on the stove?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

This specific recipe is only for those three ingredients. Marshmallow cream is used for more traditional fudge. But you could always fold it in. Or just use this traditional fudge recipe. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3bKmIOrpJxqntU

[@greenteatia6494]

Just made this today! Was so deliciously amazing! Will do again! If I made a video on this recipe on KZbin can I mention you? I wanna recommend people to try this!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Glad you made it and liked it! Sure, no problem.

[@bellaandtomas7334]

Matt i just looked at your cinnamon roll video (your most popular video) and i noticed that your popular videos have a lot more dislikes than your other videos

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

That is very true but that is because of the sure volume of people watching. The actual percentage of likes to dislikes is still around the same across the videos. :) For example the cinnamon roll one has something like 460 dislikes, which may seem like a lot, but it also has 13000 likes. which is a 96.6 like ratio, which is not bad at all! lol :)

[@bellaandtomas7334]

Matt 13000 divided by 460 equals 28.2 that is your like ratio on the cinnamon rolls video vs this video with 56 like ratio what I'm saying is when you make a popular video is is great for your channel because along comes new viewers but what also comes along are haters but it is nothing bad about it because some of the new viewers become subscribers and and they watch and like your other videos (i came from the cinnamon rolls video)

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thanks! That is not how you you find the percentage though. :) you have to divide 460 by 13000 to find the ratio which is 3.5%, meaning of the people who clicked like or dislike 3.5% didn't like it, and 96.5% did like it. :) And I am totally ok with people who don't like my videos, haha, some might like one video of mine and not another one, which is great! And yes you are right, the more popular videos bring in more subscribers which is awesome! So glad you came to my channel! from that video :) Also the cinnamon roll video has been around for a couple years now, this fudge video only a few days and has 100% likes (58 likes and 0 dislikes so far, but that will change as more people watch it), haha the like ratio in a couple years for this one will resemble more closely the one with the cinnamon rolls.

[@bellaandtomas7334]

Oh i see we where both right i figured it out in ratio and you figured it out in percentage 😄

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

hahaha :)

[@tS-gh9dj]

Instead of putting the milk and butter in the microwave then adding the chocolate can I just put it all in at once.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

You can certainly give it a try. :) I normally don't do it this way, it is a little too easy to burn the chocolate. But if you do it in bursts of 30 seconds and stirring in between, it will probably be okay.

[@jlathem56]

What a wonderful recipe Matt. There are so many things people can add to it to make their own unique recipe too. One of the most unusual ingredients I have see was maraschino cherries that were drained well. Sort of tasted like a home made chocolate covered cherry.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thank you!! Yeah it is a great base recipe to start from. That sounds really cool to add cherries.

[@Angellady11]

I use the same ingredient as minie Jackson’s chocolate pie for my fudge 😂😂

[@projecthiraeon]

For some reason every time I try making these it doesn't set right. It stays at like a paste consistency and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I tried multiple videos and different recipes but I can't figure it out

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Is it really humid where you live by chance? Did you try this one already?

[@projecthiraeon]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt not really, the ac is always on anyways. I tried your recipe yesterday, and put it in the fridge overnight and even put it in the freezer for a bit. It just got like pudding

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@projecthiraeon mmm that is weird. That never happens to me. It always firms up. One possible reason why it didn't set is maybe it wasn't heated up to a high enough temp. You can always try reheating it and then try an let it set again. Or you can use it as a topping on ice cream or something. Also are you absolutely sure you used sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk? Evaporated milk won't work. Sometimes the cans look very similar. haha
