This easy Fireball Fudge Recipe is the perfect recipe to make for the holidays or anytime! An easy fudge recipe made with condensed milk and a few other ingredients that is perfect for the cinnamon whiskey lover in your life!
Ever wonder what is the best fudge recipe ever? The answer of course is one with booze in it! It’s like my favorite pastime, combining chocolate and whiskey into delicious fudge. First with creamy Irish Whiskey in this Bailey’s Fudge, and then with straight up whiskey in my insanely popular Jack Daniel’s Fudge recipe and now with cinnamon whiskey in this Easy Fireball Fudge Recipe.
(Pssst . . . I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention my Chocolate Amaretto Fudge for those who aren’t into whiskey.)
HOW DO YOU MAKE HOMEMADE FUDGE?
There are many different ways you can make fudge, but the best way to make easy fudge is with condensed milk and just a few other ingredients.
EASY FUDGE INGREDIENTS
- Chocolate chips (you could also use white baking chips depending on what flavor you making)
- Sweetened condensed milk (make sure to grab the condensed milk and not the evaporated milk!)
- Vanilla extract
WHY THIS EASY FUDGE RECIPE WORKS
In this super easy Fireball Fudge Recipe, we cut back on the amount of sweetened condensed milk we’d normally put in and increase the amount of chocolate chips we are putting in to make sure that the fudge sets. While each piece of fudge doesn’t have enough Fireball Whiskey in it to give you a buzz, it has plenty to give that great flavor everyone loves while still allowing your fudge to set.

Easy Fireball Fudge Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate chips)
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (or 8 fluid ounces) see note
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup Fireball Whiskey (or any cinnamon whiskey)
Instructions
- Line an 8 by 8 inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
- In a large bowl melt the chocolate chips in the microwave according to package instructions.
- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, the vanilla extract, and the whiskey.
- Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and let set completely (about four to eight hours). Refrigerate for 1 hour before slicing. This last step of refrigeration is optional, but makes the fudge slice nicely.
- Enjoy and store in an airtight container for two weeks.

Michele says
Will it taste like whiskey or make you tipsy?
It tastes more like cinnamon than whiskey, and there are about four drinks worth in the whole batch, so you would have to eat probably a fourth of the recipe to feel anything.
Paul says
Challenge Accepted!
Norma Hays says
No and no
PATRICK M FITZGERALD says
In the Cooks Illustrated recipe for quick fudge (also using sweetened condensed milk) they add 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/8 tsp salt. The baking soda increases the pH of the fudge and makes the texture firmer.
Carol says
Love fudge!
Sharon D Anderson says
I have a question, what about making one using Tequila Rose (Strawberry Tequila? ) or maybe regular Tequila? I’m gonna try to make ure Fireball fudge for Christmas tho! But was wondering about the flavors I suggested?
I haven’t tried it with tequila, but I’m sure it would be delicious!
Lori says
I just tried one with captain Morgan rum. And I can’t taste the spice at all. And it isn’t as firm
I am going to try some with peppermint schnapps
Steffany says
I made the fireball fudge as well as jack daniels fudge with dark chocolate and I also made a rum chata with white chocolate and the fireball marbled in. All 3 were amazing.
I’m so glad you liked it!
Damhán Alla Pendaran says
Its awesome. Tastes like a chocolate covered strawberry
Tammy says
Tequilia Rose YUMM. I was thinking Orange Liqiour would be good too!
Louise Loyer says
Can you make the fudge with something else than the whiskey, such as flavored rum or Irish cream and add chopped walnuts? Would the quantity of ingredients remain the same? Thank you
Yup! I have a version with Baileys that is the same except the type of alcohol.
Syl says
On the Fireball Fudge can I add pecans or walnuts and still leave the recipe measurements the same?
Yes, that should work fine!
Mary Ellen Williams says
Looks great!
Deborah says
Just found your website. Can’t wait to try your fudge recipes
I hope you love them!
David Watson says
When you say set for 4 to 8 hours is that at room temperature ?
Room temperature is fine, though it does cut better if it chills in the refrigerator.
Stacy Wilson says
I’m thinking, yes to the Fireball but also trying it with rum chata. Hopefully it will work, maybe along the lines of the Bailey’s fudge. Think it would work?
I do! Let me know how it turns out!
Steffany says
I did rum chata in white chocolate and marbled in dark chocolate fireball. It was amazing
What a great idea!
Da says
That could be good in a white fudge!
