I’ve been wanting to share this recipe since Christmas time! My friend brought me the most delicious and easy-to-make fudge as a gift, and when she gave me the recipe, I couldn’t believe how easy it was to make!

That got my wheels turning, and I thought like I always do, I could totally mix this up and make a ton of different fudges with the same 3-minute method! So, needless to say, we had a lot of fudge in our house, and I gained a few pounds over Christmas.

Of course, we had to try it a few times to make sure we got it right, and each recipe was just a little better than the last, but all were too delicious to give away!

  3. Jessica, I have made 6 batches of this for gifts. But first I had to correct the mistakes in the recipe. Never use butter in the chocolate chips to melt for the top layer – it makes the chocolate seize up and become impossible to spread. Instead I substituted one Tablespoon of Coconut Oil (or Crisco works, too) , and it worked the way it should.

  5. My coconut oil separated from the site chocolate in the microwave. It got weird. Hoping it still turns out. I blended it with a hand blender to try to get it to bind.

    2. You will need to melt your white chocolate, and separately, the dark chocolate in a double boiler. If you don’t have one you can use a metal bowl that will sit over your 4 quart pan. Add water to the bottom pan, be sure the water does not touch your metal bowl. I’ve made the fudge using a “home made” double boiler like I described. It was before we had white chocolate and I knew nothing about sweetened condensed milk. And the recipe I used was wonderful. It really tasted like a Mounds Bar.

  8. I’m thinking you could also make coconut balls and dip them in the chocolate. Yum! More chocolate per bite!

    1. Great idea! I’ve done that. They look real fancy when gifted in a nice box.

  9. I am new to fudge making basically, so I tried this fudge and the coconut needs to be fully firm before you add the chocolate coating on the top. I did not know that.

    1. thanks for pointing that out!

  10. Have you tried using almond bark instead of the white chocolate? I’m going to try it!

    Reply

    1. let me know how it turns out!

  11. I’m sure if you want almond joy fudge, just press a whole almond in a grid pattern into the coconut before adding the chocolate. Then cut the fudge around the almonds. What do you think?

    1. sounds perfect!

  12. Hey, just found this recipe and saved it before I even read it! I think I have more fudge pins than any other. I haven’t made this yet but soon, however I have made similar recipes. SO, now is the perfect time to shape this fudge into Easter eggs and then dip in the the chocolate. They are fabulous! I use a combination of Hershey’s chocolate, the chocolate bark and coconut oil. Just watch it close and stir often. If it seizes just use the coconut oil to bring it out of it. It won’t be as dark but great for those of us who like milk chocolate better. All is good!

    1. thanks for that!

  13. What can I use instead of coconut oil? Butter or Driscoll ?

    Reply

    1. yes

  14. This was delicious! I made two batches and the first batch I felt it was too oily, so the second batch I halved the amount of coconut oil. I did not have coconut flavoring, but the unrefined coconut oil gave plenty of coconut flavor. I used unsweetened coconut and it was still delicious. I also used oil in place of butter to melt the chocolate.

  15. I made this today. 5 stars! I made the white chocolate chip/coconut as written – it’s amazing.

    I did both the white chocolate/coconut filling and the chocolate topping using a double boiler. I had simi-sweet chocolate chips and they were so old, I added 2 extra teaspoons of butter. It still didn’t melt well so I added a little milk and it helped. I added a pinch of salt and a 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla to the chocolate.

    Thank you for posting!

  16. I want to love this but I must be doing something wrong. I have tried it twice. It keeps turning into an oily gloppy mess. It just won’t come together. Tried less oil. Tried different white chocolate. Tried mixing with hand mixer. I end up pouring about a cup of oil down the drain and likely much of the coconut flavor. What am I doing wrong?!

Remove the fudge from the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes. Beat the mixture until it just loses it's shine and becomes very thick (this should take about 5-10 minutes). The longer you beat once it starts to thicken then the more crumbly the final fudge will be.

How do you harden fudge quickly? ›

How can you fix soft fudge? Put it in a microwave safe bowl that is large enough that it won't boil over. Reheat it to the boiling point and cook for about 3 more minutes. Then you can beat some powdered sugar into it if this doesn't make it set.
