I make this fudge at Christmastime to give to friends and neighbors. That tradition started years ago when I made more candy than my husband, three sons and I could eat, so we shared it. It's a tasty tradition I'm glad to continue. -Betty Grantham, Hanceville, Alabama

THREE-WAY FUDGE



Three-Way Fudge image

This is fudge made in the microwave. The recipe is from candy for Christmas by Joanne Fluke. I haven't made this yet so times are my best guess. Note: A 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk contains approximately one and a third cups. Your going to be dividing the can in thirds, so make each third a bit less than a half-cup and you'll come out all right.

Time 1h45m

Yield 1 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
6 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Note: For each layer combine ingredients in a 2-cup pyrex measuring cup and microwave for 70 seconds on high. Remember that chocolate chips maintain their shape even after they're melted so don't go by appearance. You have to stir them to be sure.
  • Line an 8-inch square pan with waxed paper.
  • Melt the following together - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, scant half-cup sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons butter.
  • Stir to make sure everything's melted and then spread it out in the bottom of the 8-inch square pan you've prepared. Let it sit on the counter until it's cool and slightly hard to the touch.
  • Melt together - 1 cup white chocolate chips, scant half-cup sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons butter.
  • Stir to make sure everything's melted and then spread it out in the bottom of the 8-inch square pan. Let it sit on the counter until it's cool and slightly hard to the touch.
  • Melt the following together - 1 cup milk chocolate chips, scant half-cup sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons butter.
  • Stir to make sure everything's melted and then spread it out in the bottom of the 8-inch square pan.
  • Let it harden in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better.).
  • Then turn it out on a cutting board and cut into bite-sized squares.
