Microwave fudge is a great dessert to cook with your kids. It's really easy to whip up and oh-so-delicious! I found a few tips on KraftFoods.com to make ordinary chocolate fudge even better!

Microwave Fudge

3 cups milk chocolate chips

1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup margarine

Put all ingredients in bowl and microwave at 50 percent power for 3 minutes. Take out and stir. Put in for another 3 minutes. Poor in greased 9x13 pan. Refrigerate 2 hours or until fudge is firm.

Cookie Fudge: Cut 10 mini Oreo Cookies in half and stir into fudge before putting it into pan. Top with additional Oreo Cookies.

Peanut Fudge: Stir 1/2 cup peanuts into fudge before putting it into pan. Top with additional peanuts.

Marshmallow Fudge: Stir 1 cup mini marshmallows into fudge. Top with additional marshmallows.

Peanut Butter Fudge: Prepare fudge. Drop 1/2 cup peanut butter by the teaspoonfuls over fudge after spreading into pan. Cut through peanut butter with knife several times for marble effect.
