How to Make Fireball Fudge
- Make The Fudge Mixture: Microwave the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and completely incorporated. Add the Fireball cinnamon whisky and vanilla extract and stir until the fudge mixture is uniform consistency.
Pro Tip: Your butter cubes will not completely melt after 2 minutes in the microwave, which is ok. - Pour In The Pan: Spread the fudge into an even-layer pan. Tap the pan on the counter to force any air bubbles to the surface. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours or until fully set.
- Slice And Serve: Slice and serve. Enjoy!
How To Melt Chocolate In The Microwave
A 1000-watt microwave was used for this recipe, and it took 2 minutes to melt the chocolate. If your microwave is a different wattage, it may take slightly more or less time to melt your chocolate chips. I suggest heating in 30-second increments after the 2-minute mark to prevent chocolate burning.
Tips For Making The Best Fireball Fudge
- I highly suggest using a good-quality milk chocolate chip brand for this recipe. I find that the generic brands do not melt as well, and the chocolate can tend to seize up when using the microwave to melt. You can use a semi-sweet chocolate chip, or a combination of both chips, as well for this recipe.
- I like to line my pan with parchment paper to lift out the fudge and cut it on a cutting board instead of in the pan.
- Be sure you use sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk. Your fudge will not set if you use evaporated milk.
- To cut your fudge, it’s best to use a large chef knife. You can warm the knife by running it under warm water, then dry it off with a towel before slicing.
- This Fireball fudge can be served at room temperature or chilled.
How to Store Homemade Fudge
- To Store: You can store this fudge in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks.
- To Freeze: You can freeze your fudge for up to 2 months, tightly wrapped in aluminum foil.
