A 10 minute super easy Microwave Baileys Chocolate Fudge recipe... rich and delicious! The perfect gift for a friend (or sneaky late night treat!).
Can I just say that I'm so glad you're here... because this Microwave Baileys Chocolate Fudge is going to blow. your. mind.
It's super rich, soft and chewy... and oh-so-damn delicious. Yep, it's totally going to become your new favourite fudge!
But first let me tell you why you really need to make my Microwave Baileys Chocolate Fudge:
a) it's made in the microwave so it's E.A.S.Y;
b) it takes 10 minutes to prepare (which is nothing!!);
c) it's flavoured with Baileys (enough said).
And let's face it - anything that has Baileys AND chocolate in it, is guaranteed to be delicious!!!
This Microwave Baileys Chocolate Fudge makes a really lovely foodie gift for a friend (I made a few batches of this last Christmas). But it makes an equally as delicious late night treat for yourself.
Oooh and be warned... this fudge is super rich, so you only need a small(ish) piece. Mind you, I say 'smallish', but I'm pretty sure I ate about 10 'smallish' pieces!!!).
Enjoy! xx
PS. If you've got some leftover Baileys, why not try my Malteser Baileys Cheesecake or my Baileys Tim Tam Balls!?

Hi Julie, this is a similar one made in the microwave (but a chocolate version with Tim Tams!): https://bakeplaysmile.com/5-minute-microwave-tim-tam-fudge/

Can this be made using other liqueurs ?
Lucy Mathieson
Absolutely!!
Katharina
I'm just eating one of them. I actually made them for my colleagues at work as I had been sick last week and only wanted to try one and now I can hardly stop. Absolutely great! Greetings from Germany
Lucy Mathieson
Hi Katharina, I'm so glad you're enjoying it! Hope you're feeling much better! xx

Hi Lucy
I definitely didn't do anything wrong with this recipe but I have done it twice and both times it has come out the same where I cannot even scrape it off the baking paper. It is like slightly firm ganache. I am freezing this last lot to see if that makes a difference. I know that you said the higher content of cocoa in the chocolate makes a difference so I used 70% cadbury's baking chocolate. Where did I go wrong? Regards, Lynda.
Lucy Mathieson
Hi Lynda, it is a very soft fudge so I don't think you're doing anything wrong! Try reducing the amount of condensed milk slightly. xx

I have put desecrated coconut and rolled into balls when I had some that didn't set properly and that worked well
Ritika
Can v make this without baileys??
Lucy Mathieson
The Baileys is pretty essential to this recipe. xx
Catherine
What chocolate do I use is it just cooking chocolate thanks
Lucy Mathieson
Hi Catherine, yes that's fine! xx

Sure you can. You can find Irish Cream in the Cream section. Then it will be non-alcholic fudge but still Irish Cream.
