Dulce de Leche is perfect for baking and candy-making – exactly how I put it to use here.
The idea for this delicious Dulce de Leche Fudge occurred while grocery shopping in the baking aisle. After picking up some sweetened condensed milk for a poke cake, my eyes landed on the Dulce de Leche, and I knew I needed to make fudge with it. This recipe is so easy, and you can use any chocolate! I went with dark and semi-sweet because I love dark chocolate, but anything would work well. Make it your own!
Although the Dulce de Leche doesn’t have a prominent caramel flavor in this recipe, it does make the fudge richer and creamier.

Fudge Recipe tips
How to make Dulce de Leche Fudge?
Prepare an 8- or 9-inch square pan by spraying it with cooking oil and lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the dulce de leche, sweetened condensed milk, and chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the mixture is fully melted, smooth, and creamy — about 4–5 minutes.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula or butter knife. Add coarse sea salt, sprinkles, or any topping you like, or simply cover with foil.
Refrigerate for 2 hours. Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang.
Cut into 20 squares and enjoy!

Thank you, enjoy!
It wouldn’t be Christmas without fudge and this recipe is no exception! Adding this to my baking line up for the holiday season; yum!
Enjoy!!!
I make this every year! It is so delicious and so easy. Tell me though how do you cut that fudge so perfectly.
We use a long straight-edged knife to cut it and wipe it clean in between slices if needed. You can definitely use a ruler or measuring guide to get even squares!
I love the Dulce de leche flavor so I will
Enjoy!
This is going to help my sweet tooth! Cannot wait to dig in!
Enjoy!
This will satisfy my cravings! Definitely a must make!
I’m a huge fan of fudge, and this dulce de leche version is a total knockout! It’s so creamy and flavorful, and the sweetness is just perfect. Thanks for sharing this delightful recipe!
We absolutely love the amazing flavor of this fudge!
Very good. Curious if white chocolate chips would allow the dulce de leche flavor to come out more. Would it set up properly? Anyone try?
I haven’t tried that, but I think it would be just fine.
Awful recipe. Sticky product with no discernible caramel flavor. My 6 yr old chocolate fiend rejected it, saying it just tastes like chocolates mixed together.
Oh, that’s a bummer it didn’t turn out for you.
This is absolutely delicious! I love dark chocolate and this was wonderful! Thank you!
Awwww, you are so welcome!
