Two ingredient caramel fudge is rich, creamy and delicious. Dulce de leche gives it a nice deep caramel flavor and smooth texture. Best of all, it is super easy to make!
If you love caramel, and smooth creamy fudge, this is the treat for you! It combines two holiday favorites into one delicious and simple to make treat.
This microwave caramel fudge is beyond easy to make. You don’t even have to measure the ingredients, that is how simple this treat is.
If you have a glass bowl and a spatula, you can make it happen.
However, you can also make it in a double boiler on the stove. Or just put a large glass or metal bowl over a saucepan with some water in it and make your own double boiler.
Of course when I think of fudge, I think of Christmas. However, you don’t have to wait until December to make it.
I think we should start an “eat fudge year round” campaign. And this caramel fudge is just the thing to win people over.
Make it plain like we did, or stir in some chopped pecans for walnuts if you like a little crunch. Either way, it is going to be delicious.
Tips and Tricks
Lining your pan with foil or parchment paper is not absolutely necessary, but it allows you to lift out the block of fudge to cut it into cleaner squares. If you want to serve it straight from the fan, feel free to skip this step.
The easiest way to line the pan with foil is to smooth it over the bottom of the pan first. Then turn pan over, and gently fit shaped foil into pan.

For parchment, try to crease the corners to hold it in place.
When fudge is cooled completely, lift out of pan by the foil or parchment. Then just peel off the liner and cut into pieces.
Pour the fudge directly into cookie cutters or cute tins to make an easy gift. Or cut it into squares and add them to a fun container for another edible gift idea.
Storing Fudge
Fudge should be stored in an airtight container. It holds well on the counter at room temperature and will last there for at least a week.
For longer storage, put your airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. You can even freeze it for longer storage.

2 Ingredient Caramel Fudge
Ingredients
- 13.5 ounces can dulce de leche
- 20 ounces white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place the white chips in a medium mixing bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir well. Continue to microwave in 20 second bursts until you are able to stir it smooth.20 ounces white chocolate chips
- Immediately add the can of dulce de leche and stir until fully combined. The mixture will get thick, that’s ok.13.5 ounces can dulce de leche
- Transfer to the prepared pan and use a spatula to flatten and spread it so it's even throughout the pan.
- Place in the fridge for 2 hours or until set. Slice into 1-inch pieces, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 3 months.
- I prefer the Nestle chocolate chips for this recipe because the various brands cause a bit different outcome and I can always count on Nestle for a consistent outcome.
- It’s extremely important you do not heat this fudge over 240℉. This will cause the milk and sugar to separate, which results in almost a waxy look over your fudge. It can also cause it to be greasy before setting up. If this happens, it does not affect the flavor, but it does affect the appearance of the fudge.
- If you can’t find dulce de leche (it usually in the baking aisle with the condensed milk), you can use other thick caramel sauce options. However, try to find a caramel sauce that doesn’t list water as an ingredient.
