Easy Nutty Microwave Fudge

One square of fudge containing pieces of nuts is pictured in the foreground. More fudge can be seen in the background.This Nutty Microwave Fudge is so simple to make. I used peanuts to get a yummy Snickers like flavour but you could use whatever nuts you prefer!

Last year I made a Marbled Chocolate Mint Fudge and I have been dying to make a nutty fudge ever since! I originally imagined making a chocolate fudge with walnuts, but when I finally got around to making this nutty microwave fudge I didn’t have enough walnuts! I did however have a bag of salted peanuts so I used them instead and I am very happy with the result!

A square of chocolate fudge with peanut pieces visible. This fudge is slightly salty with rich dark chocolate and crunchy peanuts. It kind of reminds me of a Snickers, which is my favourite chocolate bar! I like it best when I get some out of the fridge around half an hour before I want to eat it. When it has warmed up just a little bit it is soft, chewy, and deliciously nutty!

This is a very easy recipe, in fact because it’s a microwave fudge it would be a great one to get the kids involved with. You could also use whatever nuts that you like – I fully intend to make this again very soon using some walnuts!

Squares of dark chocolate fudge containing pieces of peanuts lined up in rows on baking paper.I adapted it slightly from a recipe I found here at So How’s it Taste. The most obvious adaption being that I used the microwave for mine. The original recipe also called for a dash of salt but because the peanuts I used were already salted I left it out. If the nuts you choose are unsalted I would recommend added a small amount of salt. I also lightened it up a little by using skim sweetened condensed milk.
