Easy and quick, but not the best microwave fudge. I find it not chocolately enough and more like icing than fudge. However it did the trick for my sweet craving. All that said, I did have to substitute regular milk for evaporated as my can of evap had expired. So perhaps with the evap it is better. I did add chopped pecans.

Oh my!!! made this after work today and just had 2 pieces. Absolutely delicious. I'm not usually a big sweets person, but this is fantastic. Can't believe I've been looking at this recipe for months and never made it. My loss. Thanks for such a quick and easy recipe. Especially since I had all the ingredients on hand. Definitely going into my favorites file, for sure will be making this again.

A nice chocolate fudge delight that whips ups so quickly. It does not set up as firm as other fudge recipes so it really needs to stay in the fridge. But when you have the need for a chocolate treat without blowing all your calories for a week then this is a great recipe to have on hand. Thanks for sharing.

Now just how much easier can it get ~ This fudge comes together in no time at all & is so tasty! In fact, only about half of it managed to get to the freezer ~ The rest was devoured spoonfull by spoonful! Thanks for a really great treat! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Cookbook tag]

I had some leftovers so decided to whip this up, it's very tasty but a lot softer consistency than a regular fudge. I did find that even though I sifted my icing sugar & whisked well after cooking I did still have some lumpy bits of sugar in the mixture so I think it probably best to add some nuts to disguise this fact for future reference. Thanks jen!
