How to make fudge in the microwave
I love this recipe for he ease in making it. You don’t even need a candy thermometer, which has most other fudge recipes beat. That is always the part the turns me off anyway. Are you the same?
You simply add ingredients, melt and allow to sit in a parchment papered pan. Really, this could not be easier.
This is a wonderful no-bake dessert fudge recipe, which is even better. This means you can have your fudge treat in such little time, really, the bulk of the ‘baking’ is cooling in the fridge!

With the holidays coming up, and the chaos that comes with it around the time of year – having simple recipes like this in your repertoire is a life and sanity-saver. I don’t know how many times I’ve made this recipe, but each time I’m always pleased with the simplicity.
Enjoy this recipe all year long, and if you need to spruce it up – simple add some seasonal sprinkles or nuts. The nice part is that you can truly make it your own or make this as-is because the butterscotch taste is amazing.

This looks quick and easy, but it does not say what size butterscotch bags? Please help.

We only a standard size here, same size as the ‘usual’ bag of chocolate chips …

By usual size bag is that an 11oz bag? Also could you use the same recipe with peanut butter chips?

A usual brand for us here is 300g. And I’m sure you could, let me know how it tastes, now I’m curious!
