Three Ingredient Mars Bar Fudge

The problem with not being able to resist a bargain when you see it, is that you inevitably end up with things you a. forget about b. you don’t need or c. you end up with waaay too many. When I did a recent stocktake of the pantry I was a little shocked to discover a total of 14 Mars Bars hidden in various places so I knew I needed to turn them into something before the urge to start eating them began.  I decided to adapt my easy Chocolate Malteser Fudge recipe and turn it into three ingredient Mars Bar Fudge.

Three Ingredient Mars Bar Fudge

Thanks to having a well stocked pantry I had already had the remaining two ingredients on hand – condensed milk and milk chocolate.

Three Ingredient Mars Bar Fudge

This fudge recipe is REALLY simple, all you need to do is melt the chocolate and condensed milk before stirring in cut up Mars Bar pieces – yep it’s that easy.

Ingredients

  • Roughly chop the Mars Bars into pieces and set aside until needed.
  • Pour the condensed milk into a medium saucepan over low heat and add the milk chocolate - which has been broken into squares.
  • Cook condensed milk and chocolate mixture and stir regularly until the chocolate has melted and the ingredients have combined.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chopped up Mars Bars before quickly stirring through.
  • Pour the fudge into the prepared tin and place in the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours (preferably overnight) to set.

Both of the boys were keen to help me out with this recipe, and our big boy was very excited to help me take the photos, although I had to decline his suggestion to put a couple of pieces into the back of one of his trucks!

    Yes, I love a bargain, I love Mars Bars and I love fudge! Unfortunately there is no way I would ever “forget” about a Mars Bar in the cupboard. It would be calling my name!

    I love a bargain but I have never found 14 mars bars in my pantry. I never find any chocolate in my pantry….my hubby finds plenty of empty wrappers in my car though 😉

    I love this recipe, so simple and delish!

    I have recently started a food sharing site for bloggers, I would love to have you submit your photos. Please think about popping over 🙂

    This recipe looks fantastic! Do you have to boil the milk/chocolate or just heat it until the chocolate is melted? A friend told me it wouldn’t “set” unless it is boiled for a while? I’m not great at making fudge so I thought I would ask before I give it a try 🙂

      Hi Jacky, I only ever cook the chocolate/condensed milk until the chocolate has melted and the ingredients have combined. This is a soft fudge and it will still have a little give to it when cut. I hope this helps 🙂

    Tried this one out, but even after leaving in the fridge overnight, it still hadn’t hardened 🙁

    I suspect that this might be because the Cadbury Milk Chocolate here in Australia has different ingredients so that it doesn’t melt in our hot climate during transport.

    It has ended up more like a chunky mousse – the flavour is delicious though!

      Hi Danni,
      I’m glad you can still enjoy the fudge even though it hasn’t set properly for you. I’m also from Australia too (Brissy girl!) and find that the fudge doesn’t set rock hard overnight, it still has a little give to it and is more like a soft fudge.

    Just made these and the texture was perfect! The sweetened condensed milk came in a 300ml can, and, not wanting to open another can for the extra 95ml, thought I would risk just adding the 300ml. It turned out nice and firm and was still easy to cut. Also, as I had a lot of unsweetened squares of cholocate on hand, and the mars bars and milk are already very sweet, the flavor was perfect too. Thanks for sharing such an easy recipe!

      Oh I’m so glad you enjoyed it Margaret! That’s really handy to know about the condensed milk amount, I’ll have to remember that. Thanks so much for your feedback x

      Hi Judith, I’ve never tried making this fudge in a slow cooker before so I’m not sure how it would go. It only needs to cook for around 8 – 10 minutes and it’s a good idea to add the mars bars straight away as the fudge does start to set quite quickly. I hope that helps xx
