Microwave Fudge Recipe

This fudge is super simple to make, right in the microwave and just 3 necessary ingredients. White chocolate morsels, sweetened condensed milk and mini marshmallows are all you need to make this extremely soft, melt-in-your-mouth fudge. I personally prefer the extra soft style of fudge. But, if you like the firm (almost like a chocolate bar) type of fudge you’ll want to try a different recipe.

This soft white fudge needs to be kept in the refrigerator until you eat it. The fudge doesn’t melt into puddles at room temp but it does get very soft.

Ingredients Needed For White Fudge (screenshot for grocery list)

• White Chocolate Morsels
• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Mini Marshmallows
• Salt
• Vanilla Extract
• Candy of Choice (optional)

How To Make Microwave Fudge

1. Prepare loaf pan by lining with wax paper or parchment paper. Sprinkle candies on the bottom (if adding candy).
2. Mix white chocolate morsels and sweetened condensed milk in microwave safe bowl. Microwave 60 seconds.
3. Add marshmallows, stir and microwave 30 more seconds.
4. Add salt and vanilla. Stir until melted and smooth. Immediately pour mixture into loaf pan. Top with more candy (optional).
5. Refrigerate 4-6 hours. Remove fudge and paper, transfer to cutting board. Peel paper from fudge, cut into squares.
6. Store fudge in refrigerator.

Fall has definitely arrived. Not only is it pretty nippy in the mornings but everything around us it getting pumpkin spiced! I’m not big into pumpkin spiced lattes or most pumpkin desserts really (with the exception of these Mini Pumpkin Cream Pies). But I love adding a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice to treats like this Easy Pumpkin Spiced Caramel Apples Recipe and these Pumpkin Spiced Crispy Treats. The spice blend adds a perfect hint of flavor to non-pumpkin desserts. It is especially delicious with caramel.

These Pumpkin Spiced Caramel Apples are super-duper easy to make because I cheated with store bought caramels. Is that cheating? I don’t know, homemade caramel can be so temperamental. And just check out the video . . . these are so, so simple!

Oh hey! I upload my food videos to Youtube before the recipe is posted to WonkyWonderful. So if you want some sneak peeks >>> Follow WonkyWonderful on Youtube!

There are 3 very important things to remember when making this recipe. Very Important!

1. Use soft caramels. Otherwise you will end up with super hard caramel apples that pull out fillings! I use Werther’s Soft Caramels.
2. Have everything prepared before melting the caramel. You gotta work fast on this one!
3. Don’t forget to grease the wax paper. I repeat . . . Do Not Forget To Grease The Wax Paper. I totally forgot when making my video and it was a huge pain in the rear to get the apples off the paper. Huge!

Make this favorite Fall dessert with just 3 ingredients in less than 15 minutes! This Easy Pumpkin Spiced Caramel Apples Recipe is great for Harvest festivals, holiday celebrations or as a Halloween treat. The kids can even help make this fun dessert!

Print

Ingredients

• 2 Lbs Small Apples (5-6 apples), (I use Sweetango Apples)
• 4 (4.5oz) Bags Soft Caramels, (I use Werther's)
• 1/2 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Wooden Apple Spikes

Instructions

1. Thoroughly wash apples and dry completely before beginning. Insert spikes into tops of apples.
2. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and grease heavily.
3. Place unwrapped caramels in large microwaveable measuring cup (or a vessel that's base is not too wide). Microwave caramels in 15 second increments, stirring between each. Will take total 1-2 minutes depending on microwave. 
4. Once caramels are melty and smooth, add pumpkin pie spice. Stir and immediately begin to dip apples.
5. Dip each apple in caramel, use spoon or knife to remove excess caramel from bottoms. Transfer to prepared wax paper.
6. Complete the dipping as quickly as possible then transfer apples to refrigerator to set. If necessary, caramel can be reheated an additional 15 seconds to melt.

Notes

If concerned about too much pumpkin spice flavor, decrease amount to 1/4 teaspoon. This will ensure a very mild flavor.

If you want to make a sweet for your sweetheart, look no further. This Rice Crispy Treat Candy Cake is sweet, layered with sweet, layered with more sweet, then topped with sweets! Sometimes an over-the-top show-stopping dessert is in order. I made this for my daughter’s birthday and she was quite impressed. It also just so happens to be perfect for a Valentine’s Day dessert!

My daughter enjoys regular cake but it is not her absolute favorite dessert. Last year I made these Candy Sushi for her classroom birthday treats and the kids went CRAZY for them! This year I made her this Rice Crispy Treat Candy Cake for our at home treat because we had her birthday celebration at a bakery. The kids all decorated (and ate) loads of cupcakes!

Plus, I had been sent these awesome Strawberry Licorice Laces from Nuts.com and I wanted so badly to use them on a cake. If you are looking for unique candy for cake toppings and decorations, Nuts.com has so many cute options.

My daughter and I recently watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and she absolutely loved it. So when I surprised her with a rice crispy treat cake layered with buttercream, strawberry jam then topped with licorice . . . it was like something straight out of the movie! 

Here are a few items you may need for this recipe: (affiliate links)

So I’m not hating all these no-bake recipes. My cookies may be sugary puddles due to the high elevation but my no-bake treats are on point! So far I’ve made delectable Vanilla Cookie Truffles and the highly addictive Peppermint Pattie Chocolate Truffles.

I’m not even a big raw cookie dough fan and I am obsessed with these Edible Cookie Dough Truffles. Like, get them outta my house before I eat every last one, kind of obsessed!

I’ve always been leery of edible cookie dough recipes because while they leave off raw eggs they all tend to still include uncooked flour . . . which you are not supposed to consume. Then I came upon this recipe for Gourmet Toasted Cookie Dough by Sprinkle Bakes. The flour is heated in the oven or microwave before being turned into edible cookie dough. I did some checking around (i.e. Googling) and sure enough heating the flour does eliminate the risk of E.coli. . . yeah, you read that right. . . E.coli! While the risk is low, you are not supposed to consume raw flour or boxed cake mix due to the possibility of contamination. I don’t mess around with food contamination y’all!

The flour can be heated on a baking sheet for 10 minutes at 300°F or heated it in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally until an instant read thermometer reads 160F. I use the microwave method.

Oh, and I’m back to making videos. I’m a little rusty but I’m pretty happy with the first video I’ve made in quite a long time.

I am proud to be partnering with International Delight to bring you this tasty recipe!

The specialty Winter flavors are by far my favorite! I love chocolate and peppermint, anything eggnog and of course holiday cookies. These Peppermint Pattie Chocolate Truffles are little bites of heaven! This is the first of many no-bake recipes that I will be sharing this year. Most of us love the convenience of a no-bake treat but for me it will be necessary. I recently moved to high altitude and have yet to bake any successful cookies. I’ll get there eventually.

If these chocolate peppermint candies are your type of treat, you are going to LOVE International Delight Peppermint Mocha! Honestly, peppermint flavored creamers are usually too strong for me. But this International Delight seasonal flavor has just the right amount of peppermint without going overboard. And the International Delight Frosted Sugar Cookie flavor is my new favorite . . . maybe my all-time favorite! It is good.

I’m actually glad to have the motivation to make no-bake treats because I am finding so many amazing recipe ideas that I have never made before, like these Peppermint Pattie Chocolate Truffles. Never would I have thought to make a homemade version of one of my favorite candy bars. But holy smokes, these are not only super easy to make, they taste unbelievable! I had first made these into a pattie shape. But it was my daughter that requested I make them into bite sized truffle balls. She’s just full of good ideas!

Perfect for the holidays, great for New Year’s parties and fantastic with a mug of Peppermint Mocha Coffee!

I am so ready for Christmas music, holiday treats and snow. Lots and lots of snow!

Happy Holidays!

Easy Kid Party Food

I made these fun Candy Sushi treats for my daughter’s school birthday dessert. My daughter is quite a character . . . she loves sushi and doesn’t like cake! So this was the perfect birthday treat for her.

But, all the kids in her class went CRAZY over these little dessert sushi! So much so that the teacher requested more for a special school activity.

Basically, these are perfect for anyone who loves sushi. Or if you are looking for an easy unique treat, these are it.

It’s as simple as making Rice Krispies Treats and forming them to look like Nigiri Sushi rice. Then top with a Swedish Fish candy and a strip of Fruit By The Foot.

My secret to the ultimate soft, gooey crispy treats are Jet-Puffed Jumbo Mallows. GO JUMBO!!!

Ingredients Needed Candy Rice Crispy Sushi (screenshot for grocery list)

• Jumbo Marshmallows
• Butter
• Crispy Rice Cereal
• Swedish Fish Candies
• Fruit by the Foot

How To Make Candy Sushi

1. Prepare large jellyroll pan by lining with wax paper and generously buttering or spraying with nonstick.
2. In extra large bowl; combine marshmallows and butter. Microwave 2-2 ½ minutes or until marshmallows have puffed up and almost doubled in size.
3. Immediately stir in crispy rice cereal.
4. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and using hands or the bottom of a cup, press evenly into pan.
5. Refrigerate until cooled. Once crispy treats are firm, carefully remove wax paper and transfer treats to cutting board.
6. Cut treats into small rectangles (approx 3-4″ in length). Form into nigiri sushi shape with hands. This should yield 30+ crispy treats.
7. Top each crispy treat with a Swedish fish candy. Trim Fruit by the Foot into strips long enough to wrap around each piece of candy sushi. Wrap around crispy treats and fish candies.

Check out the Salted Caramel & Peanut Yogurt Parfait below. You can also enter the giveaway for a chance to try SNICKERS® Crisper for yourself!

I just love a good sweet and salty treat. That is why SNICKERS has always been one of my favorite candy bars. So the new lighter option really appealed to me. Each SNICKERS Crisper includes 2 pieces, each with 100 calories. Which is fantastic when you want to eat half and save the rest for later.

It is great for keeping in your purse for an on-the-go treat!

Look how happy I am about my SNICKERS Crisper. Seriously people, I almost ate all 4 bars before I was able to take photos for this post. I did save one . . . it was hard though. These are so awesome!

They are a combination of crisped rice and peanuts, topped with a layer of caramel then coated in creamy SNICKERS® Brand milk chocolate. Imagine if a rice crispy treat and a SNICKERS fell in love and had a baby . . . they would name it SNICKERS Crisper.

There I am. Who knew that my modeling career would begin in my late 30’s!?!?! Heehee

Here is a little glimpse into my life. . . I work on my blog 40+ hours a week while taking care of my young daughter. She attends a wonderful school that requires parents to volunteer regularly and that the children are in after school activities. Then there is the usual everyday errands, responsibilities and obligations. Basically, there are some weeks where I don’t know if I’m coming or going. Like any typical busy mom, somedays I realize that I haven’t eaten all day. I usually come to this realization much too late and I am in full blown dragon lady mode!

No more dragon lady! I’m stocking up.

Find new SNICKERS® Crisper at your local convenience, drug, grocery and value stores, mass retailers and vending machines.

I love bringing two favorite treats into one amazing recipe. This time around it is fudge and gingerbread! And, this is the super-duper easy microwave fudge!

Perfect for a last minute holiday treat, this Gingerbread Fudge comes together fast. I prefer fudge with a stiff consistency, especially when it will be sitting out on a platter. If you like softer fudge, decrease the amount of white chocolate by about 1/4 cup or so and you’ll be good.

This Wine Chocolate Truffle Recipe is perfect for a Wine Tasting Party. These homemade truffles along with sweet and savory appetizers will make your holiday wine party extra special!

I don’t know about you, but time sure seems to be flying by for me. I will go months without seeing my close friends in person and it seems like a blink of an eye. They always said that would happen when I started to get old. I guess they were right. And I guess I’m officially getting old.

But every couple months I make time to have dinner with my friends. Or for a special evening of catching up on our busy lives this Wine Tasting Party is fantastic!

I stocked up on Sonoma-Cutrer Wines because well, it was a wine tasting party. I typically reach for red wine myself, but the Sonoma-Cutrer Sonoma Coast Chardonnay tasted amazing with the food that I prepared for the party. Really though, the Russian River Valley Pinot Noir is terrific too. Sonoma-Cutrer’s fruit-forward wines pair well with a variety of foods and I had an assortment of sweet and savory.

Sonoma-Cutrer wines are great served at any holiday party or as a gift for a friend during the holiday season! What better gift than wine and chocolates!?!?

Sonoma-Cutrer has been producing the finest quality wines since it opened as a vineyard company in 1973. Built in the hillsides and rocky foothills in the region recognized as the Sonoma Coast Appellation. Sonoma-Cutrer wines are exceptional thanks to the cool, foggy coastal climate.

1/3 Cup Heavy Cream
2 Tablespoons Butter
2 Tablespoons Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
2 Tablespoons Shortening
Maldon Sea Salt

instructions:

In microwave safe bowl; heat 2 cups chocolate chips, cream and butter in microwave for 30 seconds. Stir then microwave 30 more seconds. Stir vigorously until completely smooth. Stir in wine and mix until completely incorporated. Refrigerate for 4 hours or more.

Remove from refrigerator and set at room temp 30 minutes. Scoop chocolate with a small cookie scoop. Use hands to roll into 18-20 truffle balls. Transfer to platter lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.

Dip each truffle ball into chocolate coating until evenly coated. Transfer to wax paper line platter and immediately sprinkle with salt. Refrigerate until chocolate coating sets.

There I am pouring myself a glass of Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. Since I rarely make an appearance on my own blog, I decided to take advantage of having people around and had my mom take a quick photo. See . . . I really do exist!

The best way to prepare for a wine party is to keep it simple. You want foods that are small bites and easy to eat while chatting. A casual setting and recognizable foods keep the party laid back and comfortable.

My home is already decorated for the holidays so I just set up the appetizer spread next to my Christmas tree and mantle. Then I added some greenery and a festive tablecloth.

Get plenty of fruit, meat and cheese! Lots of cheese, of course.

I served Herbed Brie and Camembert. Make sure to take your soft cheeses out about an hour before the party so they can come to room temperature. That way they are creamy and spreadable.

Offer a variety of crackers, bread and chips for dipping and spreading.

The assortment of fresh and dried fruit was the perfect companion to the Sonoma Coast Chardonnay.

Along with cheese and fruit, meat is necessary. My snack arrangement included salami, prosciutto and coppa.

As an extra I added stuffed green olives and salted cashews to the platter.

It was so nice to catch up with my friends, Mike and Marci. They are my favorite foodie friends!

The Camembert topped with Fig Butter was my personal favorite. The creamy dip with pomegranate and apricots was a big hit! That recipe is coming soon.

Encourage your guests to eat their fill and enjoy the wine!

My most important wine party tip is to offer breads and pasteries. Carbs are definitely a good idea when wine tasting.

My friend Anna agreed and tried to wander off with the bread platter! LOL!

Eat Chocolate. Drink Wine. Have Fun.
