What’s one plus one, and equals a big wad of chocolate in your mouth, which is multiplied by a satisfied grin? Why yes, it’s two-ingredient microwave fudge!
Simple Is Best
Seriously, dessert just can’t get any easier than two ingredients. And hey – you can fit one in each hand! Go to the dollar store right now and stock up on these. You will thank me later when that choco-craving hits at 2am.
River Of Liquid Gold
First up is a can of sweetened condensed milk. Don’t confuse this with evaporated milk, or you’ll end up with hot chocolate instead. It should pour out nice and thick and oh so sweet!
The Aztecs Used It As Currency
Chocolate was so revered in Aztec culture, it was used as money and was a valued gift amongst the upper class. Gift this treat to yourself!
Stir That Pot Of Gold
Some people dream of knocking a Leprechaun out cold and making off with his pot of gold. But not you. ‘Cause you have your own treasure bowl. Now stir it already!
Microwave or Boil It
Microwave the concoction for a minute. No microwave? Use the double boiler method instead, where one pot of “stuff” goes into another pot of boiling water.
Sticky Yummy Gooey Mess
After the nuke countdown has hit zero, you are left with a very lick-able sticky mess. But don’t give in to temptation just yet! It still needs a few whips of the spoon.
Optional: Add To Your Arsenal
If you think you can handle it, try some optional add-ins to bring a bit more pleasure to your taste buds. Do this right after it’s still hot out of the microwave. Don’t add too many new flavors at once! Keep it simple and just pick one extra ingredient.
- Expresso Powder
- Crushed Walnuts
- Sea Salt (topping)

Or Try Some Loopy Shapes
Don’t limit yourself to the confines of a square baking pan. Think outside the “box” and try some fun shapes. Seasonal silicone molds such as pumpkins or Christmas trees can add some extra flair to your gift giving endeavors. Cookie cutters and mini-cupcake pans can also create interesting little bites of joy.
