Maple Fudge Recipe Made With Only 2 Ingredients

This homemade maple fudge recipe is incredibly rich and decadent, and it's loaded with sweet maple syrup flavor! Best of all, only two simple ingredients are needed to make it, and you probably have them in your pantry already!

If you're looking for an easy fudge recipe, this maple one has you covered! The process of putting this fudge together is super simple too. All you need is a bowl and a microwave to make it. No candy thermometer, double boiler, or sweetened condensed milk is required for this fudge recipe! 

Ingredients You'll Need

• White Chocolate- white chocolate chips, melting chocolate wafers, or bars all work great.
• Maple Syrup- pure maple syrup for the best flavor. Any pancake syrup works too.
• Salt- an optional pinch of sea salt.

How To Make Maple Fudge

So, this recipe takes less than 10 minutes to make, but allot a couple of hours for the fudge to set in the refrigerator.

Also, just so you know, this recipe for maple fudge will make about 8 squares of fudge, so double or triple the ingredients if you want to make more than that. You'll especially want to make more if you're serving it at a holiday party.

Step 1: Melt The White Chocolate

First, you're going to prepare a baking dish - or loaf pan - by lining it with parchment paper. Also, be sure to let it line the wall of the pan so that when it comes time to remove the fudge, you can lift it out by the paper. Anyway, set the prepared pan aside for later.

Next, add the white chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for about 1 minute, and give it a stir. Then, microwave it in 30-second increments and stir between each one until it is fully melted.

Once it's melted, stir in the pure maple syrup (or pancake syrup) and mix with a spatula until well combined.

If you're making maple walnut fudge, add the walnuts now along with the maple syrup. Alternatively, you can sprinkle them on top in the next step for another version of maple walnut fudge. Either way will add a wonderful flavor to the already delicious fudge.

Step 2: Pour and Refrigerate The Fudge

Next, pour the smooth mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle with sea salt on top if you want.

Then, place the homemade fudge in the refrigerator and leave it to set. About 2 hours should do the trick, but the longer you leave it in the fridge, the firmer it will be.

Step 3: Slice and Serve

Once your maple chocolate fudge is good and firm, go ahead and remove the fudge from the pan by gripping the parchment paper and lifting it.

Then, put the fudge on a cutting board, into chunks or squares, serve and enjoy!

Different Variations Of This Maple Fudge

As I mentioned above, there is an endless number of ways to modify this recipe, so each time you make it, it never gets boring.

Here are some of my favorite ways to change it up:

• Stir in ½ cup of walnuts for maple walnut fudge.
• Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavors.
• Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to compliment the maple flavor.
• Swap white chocolate for dark chocolate to make dark chocolate maple fudge.
• Add crushed graham crackers and mini marshmallows on top of the fudge for some maple s'mores vibes.
• Add Eggo waffle cereal on top for the ultimate breakfast-inspired maple syrup fudge.

How To Store Maple Fudge

As good as this recipe is, don't feel like you have to eat it all in one sitting. This recipe for maple fudge also happens to taste just as good - or even better - the day or days after you make it.

So, to store your leftover fudge, you'll want to keep it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. Stored like this, it will stay good for up to 2 weeks.

Alternatively, you can freeze the fudge for up to 6 months! Then, whenever you want a square, just let it thaw for a few minutes and enjoy.
