This raspberry chocolate fudge is so smooth and creamy, with little bits of raspberry mixed throughout. It's an easy fudge to make with just 2 ingredients and five minutes to prepare.
1 1/2cups (258 g)milk chocolate chips, see note before starting
1/2cup (148 g)raspberry spread or raspberry preserves
Instructions
Line the bottom of an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Add chocolate chips to a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Heat in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add in raspberry spread and mix with a spatula until it is just evenly incorporated. Working quickly, transfer your mixture to your prepared loaf pan. You do want to work quickly because the mixture starts to thicken and cool soon after the spread is added.
Spread the fudge mixture evenly across the pan. If desired, you can make a wavy pattern on the surface for decoration. Place fudge into fridge or freezer until set. Mine took about 30 minutes in the freezer and 1-2 hours in the fridge.
Once set, cut the fudge with a large sharp knife into 1 inch squares. If the fudge is too firm, you can let it come to room temperature for a few minutes before cutting. Store uneaten fudge in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
Chocolate chips note: Avoid chocolate that doesn't contain lechitin and either dairy or a dairy substitute. Those ingredients help keep the chocolate creamy. Without them, the fudge will be very crumbly and firm. We don't recommend using brands like Enjoy Life which doesn't contain any lecithin or dairy.
I used Hershey's milk chocolate chips.
Raspberry spread note: Use a raspberry spread that is made of raspberries, sugar and pectin. Avoid spreads with added juice or water that can make the consistency too liquidy. The fudge is quite sweet. I recommend using a lower sugar raspberry spread so the fudge is not too sweet. I used Whole Foods Organic Raspberry Spread.*

I also sprinkled a little bit of crumbled freeze dried raspberries on top of my fudge for decoration.
