How To Make Chocolate Fudge
- Place a plastic wrap on a glass pan which has been misted with cooking spray lightly. Add all the ingredients leaving vanilla and nuts into a bowl.
- Microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes. Whisk the chocolate mixture until smooth. Add the vanilla and nuts; continue to whisk. Pour into the misted pan. Cover and chill in the refrigerator to allow it to set.
Note: If your fudge does not set, it’s an indication of you not microwaving it for the allowed time at the required wattage. You probably did not allow it to set in the refrigerator.
