Quick Dirty Chocolate Orange Microwave Fudge Recipes

EASY 3-INGREDIENT CHOCOLATE ORANGE FUDGE

Steps:

• Break chocolate pieces into a large microwaveable bowl and microwave in 30 second increments at 50% power until completely melted and smooth.
• Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and orange extract (and orange zest, if you wish) until everything is combined and microwave on 50% power for another 45 seconds to 1 minute (stopping after 30 seconds to stir).
• Line an 8-inch x 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and pour the fudge mixture into the lined pan, smoothing out the top.
• Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for one to 4 hours, or until completely set.
• Slice into small squares, garnish with some additional orange zest or orange slices (I like to dip my orange slices in sugar before garnishing!) and serve.
