- 0.25 cups Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, sift together the confectioners’ sugar and cocoa powder to remove any lumps.
Step 3
Add the unsalted butter and milk to the bowl without stirring.
Step 4
Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes, or until the butter is fully melted.
Step 5
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir quickly until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Add the vanilla extract and, if desired, the chopped nuts. Stir to incorporate evenly.
Step 7
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared 8x8-inch pan and spread evenly using a spatula.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour or until the fudge is firm and set.
Step 9
Once the fudge is set, cut it into small squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
