Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chopped mixed nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
- 0.5 tsp Sea salt (optional, for sprinkling)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or cooking spray.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate chips and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to overheat or scorch the chocolate.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chopped mixed nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the chocolate nut mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula. Smooth the top as needed.
If desired, sprinkle sea salt evenly over the top of the fudge for a delightful hint of saltiness.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm to the touch.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into 24 squares or your desired serving size.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
