Ingredients For Microwave Malteser Fudge
Can you believe this recipe needs only 3 ingredients!? Just 3!!!!
Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.
- Dark chocolate - the higher the % of cocoa the harder the fudge will set - chocolate melts will set to a soft fudge.
- Sweetened condensed milk - always use full fat sweetened condensed milk - not skim as it won't set firm enough.
- Maltesers - or any malted milk balls like Whoppers.
How To Make Malteser Fudge In The Microwave
After making fudge in the microwave, I will never, ever go back to making fudge on the stovetop. Microwave fudge recipes are SO easy and they take just a few minutes!
The 2 basic ingredients for a microwave fudge recipe are: chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. That's it!! And then it's just a matter of flavouring the fudge with all the yummy add-ins (like Baileys Irish Cream, Oreo cookies, cranberries and pistachios, or Tim Tam biscuits!)

Instructions
Conventional Method
- Grease and line a 20cm x 20cm square cake tin with baking paper and set aside.
- Place the sweetened condensed milk and dark chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl. Melt on 50% power for 2-3 minutes or until melted. Stir well.

- Break chocolate into pieces and grate on Speed 8, 10 seconds. Set aside.
- Place the sweeteend condensed milk into the Thermomix bowl and heat for 5 minutes, 100 degrees, Speed 3.

Notes
- Chocolate - The higher the cocoa % in the dark chocolate, the harder the fudge will set. If using dark chocolate melts, this will set to a soft fudge consistency. If using a high cocoa % dark chocolate, it will set slightly firmer.
- Maltesers - I used Maltesers for this recipe which are chocolate coated malted milk balls. You can use any brand you like (such as Whoppers).
- Microwave - cooking time will vary slightly depending on the wattage of your microwave. Cook the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk on 50% power for 2-3 minutes or until completely melted.
- Storage - As this fudge is soft, it needs to be kept in the fridge. It can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 weeks.
