It’s fudge season again! Is it me or do you too think of fudge during the holidays? I remember mom making a lot of fudge during the Christmas holidays. She took orders for these and so our home during Christmas always smelled sweet. There were cakes and cookies. And of course marzipan and fudge.

As kids there was never a thought of how much should I eat. Mom never made a big deal of us eating candy because it was the holidays. I feel kinda guilty because as a mom I’m always telling my kids to ration the sweet treats.  I dare not let them just eat as much as they want.

The best part of the holidays I remember was helping mom. She’d stand for hours by the stove stirring sweets like marzipan and fudge. Traditional fudge took forever. The tedious process of stirring and watching the temperature so it does not stick to the bottom. Phew, hard work.

I am so thrilled to share with you this recipe. It takes just about 3 minutes in the microwave. Yup, you heard me – it takes about 3 minutes in the microwave. Well, the trick here is to use condensed milk. So basically what you doing is just shortening the process. In traditional fudge, a lot of time is consumed reducing the milk and sugar which is condensing the milk.  By using condensed milk we omit all that stirring and reducing process. Makes sense?

Once the milk and sugar have been condensed, all you need to do is add the butter and bring it back to consistency which again is a quick process. The microwave does a quick and easy job.
