Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Mixture
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 ounces) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Grease an 8-inch square baking pan thoroughly to ensure the fudge doesn’t stick and can be removed easily once set.
- Melt Ingredients: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Walnuts and Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the chopped walnuts and vanilla extract, mixing them evenly throughout the chocolate mixture.
- Spread Mixture: Pour and spread the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing out the top for an even layer.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for about 2 hours or until the fudge is firm and can be cut into squares.
- Serve: Once set, cut the fudge into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy this decadent and satisfying treat.
Notes
- Ensure to stir continuously while melting to prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Feel free to substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if preferred.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- For a softer texture, reduce chilling time slightly.
