Making fudge is both fast and easy when there is no cooking involved. The process of preparing this no-cook fudge is simple—the ingredients are all mixed together in a bowl, poured into a baking dish and refrigerate until solid. What is great about this recipe is that there is a good chance that you will already have all or most of the ingredients you need to make this fudge on hand. This no-cook fudge can easily be made in large batches if needed. You will want to store this fudge in the refrigerator because it will become sticky and will start to melt if left at room temperature for too long. If you are looking for a simple fudge recipe without the need for cooking, give this one a try. Enjoy.

Do you think it would taste gross with olive or vegetable oil? That’s all we have in the house.
Alana – Sorry, olive oil or vegetable oil will not work with this recipe. Coconut oil works because it becomes solid at room temperature.
Will it hurt to add extra cocoa powder? I like fudge a tad bitter and wanted to add just a spoon or two extra, and I was wondering if it would hurt the texture or consistency.
Ashton – Yes you could do that. I do not think it will hurt the texture or consistency.
Hi Bobby, thanks for sharing the recipe. I was hoping to adapt this as a sugar-free version. Do you think rice malt syrup would work in place of honey? Thanks!
Lynd – Sorry, I don’t know. If you do try it please let everyone know how it turns out. Thanks.
I love simple recipes, plus it is gluten free which is always a plus. Do you think adding a little pomegranate to it would cause it to not solidify?
Stephen – I am not sure, sorry. If you do try it please let everyone know how it turns out.
