Smooth, creamy chocolate fudge recipe with the sweet and fruity taste of raspberries!
Fudge is one of my favorite desserts. Well, to be honest, just about any kind of chocolate will do. I have to confess – I am a classic chocoholic!
But there definitely is something special about fudge. The creamy yet chewy texture and rich sweetness makes it irresistible to me. So, I don’t make it often, because it is just too hard to not devour the whole batch within minutes! But when I do make it, I like to come up with different variations.
Fruity variations are always a big hit. I had some leftover raspberry extract in the pantry (probably a remnant of one of Thing 1’s baking escapades), so I used that in this iteration, and it was delicious!
You can use any fruity-flavored extract in place of the raspberry extract to come up with your own version. Orange would definitely be a good one to sample!
Easy Chocolate Raspberry Fudge
Ingredients
- 23 oz milk chocolate chips (1 bag)
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons raspberry extract
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- red candy melts (optional)
Instructions
- Place the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute and stir. If needed, microwave again, 20-30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until all the chocolate chips are melted.
- Add the raspberry extract and mix until combined.
- Pour into an 8x8 pan lined with wax paper.
- Sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the fudge and press in slightly, if desired.
- Refrigerate 3-4 hours until set.
- Cut the fudge into square chunks and drizzle with the melted red candy melts, if desired.

That sounds delicious! I just love the combo of chocolate with the sweetness of raspberry (strawberry would be a close runner up but nothing pairs quite like chocolate and raspberry!). Pinned.

Thank you, Joanne!

Kristin,
Sounds like a purrfect no-fail fudge recipe. I’m saving this to try out. Luckily, I have all the stuff on hand since I didn’t get to do much Christmas candy making like I normally do, so this is an excellent project to use my supplies for. Incidentally, you have a whole of flashing pop-ups that slow your site down and is a bit of distraction. Perhaps these things are an income generating stream for you. I don’t know but I thought I’d let you know just in case you are unaware. Have a good day and thanks for the recipe!
Kristin
Hi Cathy, thanks for your nice words about the recipe! I am not aware of any flashing pop-ups on my site (I certainly would not ever permit anything like that on purpose!), and I tried to duplicate that issue with several desktop and mobile browsers but was unable to. So if you come back and experience the issue again, if you could please give me a little more information as to what device and browser you are are using, and what information is in the pop-ups, I will try to look into it further! Thanks!
