Fudgie No Bakes are a popular dessert that is quick and easy to make. Here's how you can create your own batch in just a few minutes!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 cups quick-cook oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar and milk over medium heat. Cook for about 3 minutes until the mixture is hot and bubbly.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the butter pieces one at a time, stirring after each addition. Once all the butter has melted, return the saucepan to the stove and stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes or until the mixture thickens and turns a shade of golden brown.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the quick-cook oats, vanilla extract, and salt until everything is well combined.
4. Pour the mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish that has been greased with cooking spray or butter. If you want to add some extra sweetness and richness, sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the mixture.
5. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until it has cooled down enough to handle. Use your hands to press the mixture down into a uniform layer in the baking dish.
6. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until the no bakes are firm and set.
7. Once the no bakes have chilled, cut them into squares using a sharp knife. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Tips:
- Make sure you use quick-cook oats, also known as rolled oats, for this recipe. Regular old-fashioned oats won't work and will make your no bakes turn out mushy.
- Don't skip the step of stirring continuously while cooking the mixture. This helps prevent the oats from becoming too clumpy or unevenly cooked.
- If you don't have an 8x8 inch baking dish, you can use a smaller one or even a large mixing bowl. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly and stir more frequently to ensure everything cooks evenly.
- You can customize your no bakes by adding in different mix-ins, like nuts, dried fruit, or coconut flakes. Get creative and have fun experimenting with different flavors!
