Hey everyone! Chelsea from chelseasmessyapron.com here with a holiday treat — salted caramel chocolate fudge. Fudge is an absolute holiday essential for my home! And we love to eat this caramel chocolate fudge all throughout the holiday season!
And the great news is this chocolate fudge does not have to be a huge time suck. In fact it’s so quick and easy to make. Just one bowl, 5-ingredients, and all in the microwave. BAM. You are welcome busy people trying to prepare for the holidays.
Because it’s in the microwave it’s super easy, but I have a few tips anyways! First: use high quality chocolate chips for best results. Second, be patient in melting the chocolate in the microwave. Remember that even when the chocolate is out of the microwave in between melting bursts, it’s still melting. And third: to smooth that chocolate and caramel use a spatula lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
I guess one more — if you are a fan of salted caramel add a nice sprinkling of coarse sea salt to the top! Enjoy 🙂
