The Best paula deen 5 minute fudge recipe

I have been making Paula Deen’s 5 minute fudge recipe for years and it is always a hit. My kids love when I whip up a batch because it is so quick and easy. The best part is that it uses just a few simple ingredients that I usually have on hand. This fudge is perfect for holiday parties, bake sales, or just a sweet treat after dinner. It is rich and chocolatey without being too heavy. While fudge is not a health food, using semi sweet chocolate chips gives it a little less sugar than some other recipes. I like that I can make it in under ten minutes and it comes out perfect every time.

It needs at least 1 hour to firm up. I usually let it sit for 2 hours to make sure it is fully set.

Absolutely. You can swirl in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter or fold in 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows after you remove the pan from the heat.

4. How should I store this fudge?

Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
