5-Minute Microwave Nutella Fudge
This fudge is so creamy, so smooth, so yummy, and most importantly SO EASY. In fact, it’s so easy, even your husband will be able to make it for you this Valentine’s day. There’s only 5 ingredients and no fancy equipment is required.
If most men were left to their own devices, they would probably be able to make steak, ramen noodles, this fudge, and that’s about it.
This sinful recipe was made with your husband in mind. And yes. It is as easy as steak and ramen noodles. Yet, everyone raves about this fudge! No really… they rave. One bite and I hear, “Omgsh, this is the best fudge I have ever had!!” I politely shake my head and say, “Thank you, I think so too.” If they only knew how easy it was!! I have kept this little secret to myself for a while, but I think it’s about time I let it out of the bag… for the sake of your husband, who may be like my dad when it comes to cooking. And umm… you and me too.
Want to know another secret?
It’s made with this heavenly stuff right here:
Fudge made with chocolate? Never. Fudge made with Nutella? Of course. I had a serious craving for Nutella when I created this recipe and rather than eating it by the spoonful (as per the usual), I put it in fudge. Perfection.
Here are the ingredients:
- Nutella
- Butter
- Vanilla
- Salt
- Powdered Sugar
- Chopped Walnuts (optional)
I don’t know if I should apologize in advance or not because you’ll fall in love with this recipe, but your skinny jeans will not. It’s creamy, thick, and smooth. The perfect ending to you Valentine’s Day dinner… or any meal for that matter.
You don’t need a candy thermometer or a stove. All you need is a microwave and a bowl. This fudge is a 10 minute recipe, tops. All you do is melt the butter and Nutella together in the microwave. When it comes out, stir in the salt, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Turn it out into a dish lined with foil, refrigerate it and BAM you’re/he’s done!
Enjoy! 🙂
5-Minute Microwave Nutella Fudge
This fudge is so creamy, so smooth, so yummy, and most importantly SO EASY. In fact, it’s so easy, even your husband will be able to make it for you this Valentine’s day. There’s only 5 ingredients and no fancy equipment is required.

Ingredients:
1 cup Nutella
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, salted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted
3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
Directions:
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil. Make sure there is extra foil sticking out on the sides to lift the finished fudge out.
- Melt the Nutella and butter together in a large bowl. Stop the microwave and stir the mixture every minute until completely melted and smooth. Remove from the microwave and stir in the vanilla and salt using a large rubber spatula.
- Add the sifted confectioners’ sugar and stir until completely combined. Make sure you sift the powdered sugar or the fudge will not end up as firm as it should be. The mixture is very, very thick and resembles cookie dough. If using walnuts, fold them in at this point.
- Press the fudge into prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spatula. The top will be somewhat oily. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the bottom of the dish is no long warm and the fudge is firm to touch. Cut into small pieces.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Oh my stinkin goodness…this looks so yummy. I could easily eat a whole jar of nutella in one sitting. It is just SO GOOD! and your fudge recipe looks delicious. Definitely will be giving it a try! So glad I stumbled across y’alls blog!
Haha! I am so with you about Nutella… One minute I have a whole jar and the next I have eaten nearly the entire jar! We’re so glad you’ve found us 🙂
My mom made the fudge and it is so good! I love Nutella
Hello, how much is 1 stick of butter? In Germany its most times 250g, is it the same size?
Greetings from Berlin!:-)
Caro
Hi Caro! One stick of butter = 113.4 grams. This recipe calls for 2 sticks (or 226.8 grams), so it would be just under a stick of butter in Germany. Hope that helps! And hope you like the fudge 🙂
Nutella + Fudge = amazing! I can only imagine…!!
This sounds fantastic! My husband’s crazy for Nutella (and I’m a fan too!) and he’d love this. Yummy. Instantly pinned.
Yay! Thanks, Jelli 🙂
I just came back from vacation with the idea of creating a fudge from nutella and decided to see if I was repeating someone’s work. Ta-dah! Definitely will try this soon!
Yay! Can’t wait for you to try it!
I just made this yesterday! Ridiculously easy. As I suspected, my coworkers were impressed thinking I slaved over it. Many compliments! I don’t even want to share the recipe with them bc they will see how easy it is.
Yay! So happy to hear!! 🙂
Just made this. It’s delicious and simple to make! I didn’t wait the full four hours because I was too excited to try it.
Yay! Thanks for leaving some love. 🙂
I Just made this it tastees SOOO good!!! Thank u for uploading this <3
Yay! So happy you liked it!
Oh looks so yummy! I’m going to make these and show them off ???? it’s going to be though to make these while fasting and not being able to take a spoon full of it before it goes to the fridge hahaah.. Lots of love from Oman!
I agree that will be really hard to do 🙂
Hello! Fantastic recipe. Do you think it would taste alright if I added pretzels instead of walnuts? I love salty/sweet!
Yes! It should be just fine! 🙂
Would this turn out the same if you replaced the confectioners sugar with normail white sugar?
No! Confectioners sugar is much lighter and more dense.
I just finished making 2 batches of this fudge to take to a party and I’m not sure if any of it will ever get there. It was SO easy to make and it tastes heavenly!
Awesome! So happy you liked it!!
Looks so yummy. Going to make this today. One question, do you use salted or unsalted butter? I love nutella. Thank you
