# Ingredients Needed:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
04 - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
05 - 1 cup chopped mixed nuts (optional)

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Assemble all ingredients and ensure the butter is softened. Prepare a microwave-safe mixing bowl and a baking tin lined with parchment paper or use a silicone mold.
02 - In the large microwave-safe bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, and softened butter. Add cocoa powder and mix thoroughly until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
03 - Microwave the mixture on high power for 2 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl—use oven mitts if necessary—stir well, and return to the microwave for another 2 minutes. Mixture should be fully combined and glossy.
04 - If using nuts, fold in chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
05 - Pour the hot mixture into the prepared tin or mold, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until fully set. Slice into portions once firm.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Allow the fudge to chill completely before slicing to maintain clean edges and uniform texture.
