The recipe for the easy fudge is 1- 12 oz bag chips, melt 90 seconds in microwave, take out & stir, add 1 can white frosting, (not whipped) stir, microwave another 90 seconds, take out, stir well, pour into a greased pan (8x8 is size I used) chill till set, about 1/2 hour. Perfect every time.
In our testing we used both Betty Crocker® and Pillsbury® brands of frosting. We preferred Betty Crocker frosting since it made a firmer fudge.
Easiest Peanut Butter Fudge
Put one bag of Reese's peanut butter chips (I believe it was 12 ounces) in a glass bowl, and spread them so that they are not all in the middle of the bowl and they will melt easier.
Cook in microwave for 1 minute and a half.
Get out and stir, then stir in one can of vanilla cake frosting, stir real good and put in microwave and cook for 1 minute and a half, get out and
stir, then put in 9 x 9 grease plate or pan, let cool, cut and eat.
Just a note about the frosting fudge. I have made several different flavors in the last few years. I add 1/2 to 1 teasp. vanilla and a pinch of salt to the melted mixture. It gives it a fresher, more homemade taste.
white chocolate chip and cream cheese frosting. Chop up red cherries and green ones for Christmas. You will need to drain the cherries very well and put them on a couple of paper towels to get the last drop of liquid out of them. This fudge will be called Christmas Fudge.
Experiment a bit and have fun, use chocolate chips with chocolate frosting, butterscotch chips with vanilla frosting...peanut butter chips with chocolate frosting, chocolate chips with cream cheese frosting...peanut butter chips with white frosting..etc .It's not as complicated as everyone is making it! Use your imagination a bit!
Try layering two different flavors for two different colors: make a batch with chocolate chips/vanilla frosting and let it harden; make another batch of any other combination and spread on top of the first one.
I bought some of the coconut-pecan frosting today, and some butterscotch chips and some toffee/chocolate chips. I will use one or the other of the chips to make this fudge.
I have tried the white frosting with white chips and added coconut and slivered almonds. OH MY GOSH!! .
AnneE from PA asked about suggestions making Coconut-pecan icing candy. I just made a batch adding dark chocolate chips and pecans. It was great. I made 5 different kinds to take to a party and people couldn't believe how simple it was to make or how good it turned out. Now I'm going to make some and freeze it for Christmas gifts.
I made the easy fudge last night with my mother. She is 74 ( I am 56) and she just had to see if it would be good. I used milk chocolate chips and vanilla frosting and added 1 teaspoon vanilla. After it set in the fridge about 15 minutes, my mom and I tried it. I was surprised myself at how good it is. My husband loves it, so it will be a keeper.
Yesterday I made a batch of that two ingredient fudge. I used milk chocolate frosting and semisweet chocolate chips since our family loves chocolate. I was a bit skeptical about how it would turn out, but my goodness, it was fantastic! It was so creamy, dreamy, and chocolaty that you would never have known it wasn't made from scratch! I finally found a fudge recipe I couldn't flunk, LOL. Our whole family loved it. Thanks so much! I will definitely be making more.

Sounds really easy, but I HATE canned frosting, ugh just the thought of it. I wonder if you can at all tell you are eating it when you have some fudge. Lots of great ideas in flavors though.
For the easy stuff,I like the old tried and true:
I can of Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
I bag chocolate chips, melt on stove, pour in lightly buttered pan.Fridge till set. thats is.

here's another good one... Easy White Fudge

Ingredients: * See note below.
2 3-oz pkg cream cheese softened
1 6-oz pkg white baking chocolate melted
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dash salt
5 c powdered sugar unsifted
1 c pecans chopped

*A yummy white fudge that you can vary by using nuts such as macadamia nuts, filberts or black walnuts...so easy to make, too. Generously butter an 8 x 8 x 2-inch baking pan.
In a large mixer bowl at medium speed, beat cream cheese, white chocolate, vanilla and salt until well blended. At low speed, gradually add powdered sugar and beat until well blended and thick. Increase speed to medium and beat for 1 to 2 minutes or until fluffy. At low speed, beat in nuts. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.
Cut into 1-inch pieces. Cover and store in the refrigerator up to 10 days.

That's pretty much what I make, although I think my recipe also has butter.
I wouldn't eat canned frosting, either. Well, I can't because of my food allergies anymore anyway, but the ingredients in those frostings are just nasty, with names I can't even pronounce. I like to keep my recipes simple, but a little more natural. I guess if someone isn't concerned about health or taste though, the canned frosting is quick and easy.
I have the BEST fudge recipe! I'm serious try it, it's fool proof, I've been making it since I was a teenager. My mom used to make it, but the exact same one, except that I use all milk chocolate chips, is on Allrecipes.

Yes, I have made that one as well. It really is good!
That's the only one I ever make, I think it was originally on the back of a jar of marshmallow creme? I've made it w/ the raspberry or strawberry flavored marshmallow creme too. Sometimes mix peanut butter chips in, all kinds of variations. It's so easy!
