Buc-ee’s Fudge Ingredients

• Sweetened condensed milk- Canned sweet condensed milk lends this fudge a creamy and sweet flavor.
• Semisweet chocolate chips- I like to use a mixture of semisweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips for a sweet fudge, but not too sweet!
• Milk chocolate chips
• Butter– Butter helps with the texture and flavor of the fudge.
• Pure Vanilla Extract– Adding some vanilla extract adds flavor!

How to Make Buc-ee’s Fudge

Step One: Add the butter and semi sweet chocolate chips to your Instant Pot Bowl.

Step Two: Then add your sweet condensed milk and vanilla and mix well.

Step Three: Press the “sauté” button on the Instant Post and continue stirring until everything is combined. Then, add your milk chocolate chips. Move the setting to “keep warm” and continue to mix everything until it is melted.

Step Four: Line a baking sheet or brownie ban with foil and spray it with nonstick spray. Pour the chocolate mixture into the pan.

Step Five: Place into the fridge until set. Then, cut into squares and enjoy!

Copycat Buc-ee’s Fudge Recipe Tips

• Use good chocolate – The quality of your chocolate will make or break this recipe.
• Stir Will Cooking – Prevents burning.
• Personalize your fudge –want nuts one time and caramel swirls another or just a touch of sea salt?
• Allow to cool completely before slicing – this makes for nice clean squares.
• Parchment or use foil on your pan – Fudge is super easy to remove.

Storing Instructions

• Refrigerate: Place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
• Freeze: Wrap each square individually in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
• Serving: Allow fudge to come to room temperature a few minutes before serving, for the creamiest texture.

Copycat Buc-ee’s Fudge Recipe Faqs

Can I substitute milk chocolate for semisweet for the fudge? Absolutely! Milk chocolate will sweeten the fudge and also lend it a bit more creaminess.

Can I flavor it, put in something like peanut butter or caramel? Yes! Add as much peanut butter or caramel in as you like once it is poured into the pan, for extra flavor.

What can I do to make the fudge smooth and creamy? Stir and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.

How long do you have to let your fudge set? Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, before serving.
