SWharton Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 I have made microwave fudge a few times for potlucks on the road. Never had any left to bring back to the rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjim Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I tried one simple recipe from somewhere about 2 weeks ago and it was decent/good but since I hope to impress some folks I thought I would ask for some more opinions.

Pat & Pete Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 No matter how good or bad you think they might be , others have different tastes . So , just do 'decent' to your taste buds and run with it . Anyone else might think it's great that you tackled the task . Quote Goes around , comes around .

TXiceman Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 We haven't made MW fudge in years. We had tried several different recipes and some were not all that bad. But we could never get one that was as good or as smooth as fudge cooked on the stove top.

sandsys Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 I've never seen a recipe for microwave fudge. But maybe that's a good thing? I remember serving the one made with marshmallow creme to Dave's family and his mother saying something like, "Oh, that one."

bigjim Posted April 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 Thanks for all input. I don't even remember where I saw the first recipe but I have pulled up a few more from the the internet. They are all very similar and pretty easy. I did not want to influence answers but now I will say my first shot was pretty close to what Ken said. The first time I used all milk chocolate chips but next time around I am going with either all semi-sweet or a blend of the two. Depending on any feed back I might get I may or may not use some butter. I want to cut down the trial and error as much as I can as someone has to eat the evidence I mean results and I am a single.

bigjim Posted April 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 If it is at all edible I am actually going to try and seek opinions about it from friends and others minus a couple of tastes for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you don't put peanuts or peanut butter in it I would like all of it.

Jaydrvr Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) In my experience, microwaves are best used for warming things up, like coffee. I had a close family member once who insisted on cooking most of their meals in the microwave.. I soon learned to eat before visiting her. I'm sure there must be something that cooks well in a microwave, I just haven't found it yet.

Lance A Lott Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 I make no bake cookies in the microwave all the time but I havent tried fudge, I think it would be easy to over do it. I have noticed that ,what I assume is atmospheric pressure, changes the boil over point from day to day and I assume altitude would also.

Jay Mug cake. Mix together one box angel food cake mix and one box any other cake mix. Store in air tight container. In mug, stir together 3 Tbsp mix and 2 Tbsp water. Microwave 1 minute. Eat. Also known as 3-2-1 cake which helps remember the portions.

bigjim Posted April 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Made my second try and it came out pretty good. I have to pass out a few samples to get some feedback. I used a slightly different recipe this time with 2 tbsp of real butter but I used salted and kind of wonder if unsalted may have been better. It was semi-sweet chips, sweented condensed milk, 1tsp of vanilla and the butter. Did a little better about getting it to not stick to the pan I formed it in (not cooking bowl) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
