Ingredients for 3 Ingredient Fudge in original packaging.

What you’ll Need to Make 3 Ingredient Butterscotch Fudge

  • Butter or Cooking Spray – for greasing the pan so the fudge doesn’t stick. You’ll also need parchment paper or foil to line the pan.

  • Butterscotch Chips – 11 oz package, about 3 cups of chips. Store brand works just as well as name brand in this recipe.

  • Sweetened Condensed Milk – one can, 14 oz. This is a necessary ingredient and really there aren’t any fast substitutions.

  • Vanilla Extract – this ingredient is not necessary but it enhances the flavor of the fudge and we love it!

How to Make 3 Ingredient Butterscotch Fudge

I love having a couple of quick and easy recipes in my back pocket and this one fits the bill. Most of the time I have all of the ingredients in the pantry already just waiting to be transformed into delicious, delectable 3 Ingredient Butterscotch fudge.

Please note: Sweetened condensed milk is a necessary element of this fudge and evaporated milk is not the same. Be sure that you have a 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk for this recipe!

Spraying parchment paper with cooking spray.

Line a square pan (8 or 9 inch) with parchment paper or foil extending up the sides of the pan. Grease with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
