This rich and creamy chocolate fudge is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or sharing with friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a melt-in-your-mouth treat that will have everyone asking for the recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Start by lining an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and melted, ensuring not to let it boil.
Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. If you’re adding nuts, fold them in at this point for an extra crunch.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Tap the dish gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is set. Once firm, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut it into squares with a sharp knife.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness. Enjoy your homemade chocolate fudge with friends, or keep it all to yourself—no judgment here!
This recipe not only delivers a delicious treat but also creates a heartwarming experience to share with loved ones. Happy baking!
