If you've never made old- fashioned fudge from scratch on the stovetop before, let me save you the suspense - it's a pain! Even the easy recipes are fussy. And although I'm always up for a culinary challenge, fudge and candy making are finicky. It's hard to tell when it's ready, most recipes call for a candy thermometer (and you have to adjust for altitude where I live,) it's time sensitive, it boils and splatters and it's really hot! I'll still do it the traditional way from time to time, but sometimes, I just want EASY....
That's where this Microwave Sugar Cookie Fudge comes in- it's dead easy! It's as easy as throwing a few things in a bowl, heating it in the microwave, stirring and pouring. Yes, that easy. But the best part is that it tastes just like sugar cookies!
Sugar Cookie Fudge
The sugar cookie taste in many Sugar Cookie Fudge recipes comes from using a sugar cookie cake mix. However, I don’t make it that way. Adding a sweet cake mix to an already sweet combination of white chocolate chips and condensed milk is just waaay too sweet for my liking!
That's why I use an emulsion to mimic the taste of a sugar cookie. Emulsions are similar to extracts but with more depth of flavor. And like an extract, they don't add any additional sweetness to your recipe. If you haven’t ventured into emulsions yet, I would highly recommend them! I'm going to assume that you don't happen to have this ingredient in your pantry, but you can get it on Amazon and it only takes a day or two if you have Amazon prime (affiliate link.) And keep in mind, you can use it for a variety of frostings, cakes and cookies and it lasts a long time in your pantry.
Microwave Fudge Recipe
Making fudge in the microwave is the quickest and easiest method of making fudge. You just have to make sure that you only use ½ power to melt the chocolate and don't get any water near the chocolate or it will seize. This microwave fudge recipe takes about 10 minutes to make!

Such an easy and quick recipe to have in hand for those busy days when you have a craving for sweet things! Love it!
My mom used to always make fudge at Christmas, I can still remember it from when we were kids. I've never made it but am inspired. Love this version!
I would definitely need to give this fudge as a gift because otherwise, I would eat it all myself. I love how simple it is to make. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
You are right about traditional fudge being a pain! I used to make it with my mom at Christmas as a kid and it was such a chore - but the end result was always worth it!! I will pass this onto my sister who LOVES a good microwave recipe AND loves fudge. 🙂 Thanks!
