Our mom has been making this 3 Ingredient M&M Fudge for as long as I can remember. It was at every holiday party, super bowl party, and often made during the summer because it doesn’t heat up your kitchen like baking usually does.
Do you ever have those days where all you need is just one piece of chocolate to make it through? Maybe two, maybe actually three pieces but that’s it and you’d be fine!
Recipe Ingredient Notes
To make 3 Ingredient M&M Fudge, you will need the following ingredients:
- Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- M&M Mini Baking Bites
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How to Make 3 Ingredient M&M Fudge
- Line an 8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches hanging over the ends.
- Cook sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips in a sauce pan over medium heat and stir frequently until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in ¾ cup M&M candies.
- Pour into prepared baking dish, using a spatula to smooth out the top.

- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and then cut into squares.
Storing and Other Tips

Optional Fudge Mix-Ins
One of my favorite things about this fudge is how versatile it is! You can stick with delicious M&M’s or switch it up to create so many different varieties of fudge. Here are a few other mix-ins we’ve tried in the past that were equally as delicious!
- Reese’s Pieces
- Junior Mints
- Vanilla Extract
- Mint Extract
- Orange Extract
- Almond Extract + Maraschino Cherries (yum!)
- Shredded Coconut
- Peanuts
- Walnuts
- Andes Mints
- Marshmallows
- Peanut Butter
You can also try adding different flavors of chocolate chips. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, peanut butter or even white chocolate chips would work great.

Fat Free Sweetened Condensed Milk will also work.
Do these need to be refrigerated?
Refrigerate for 2 hours and then cut into squares. That is mainly for them to set up. But you can keep them at room temp, or store in the fridge in an airtight container.
