Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Walnuts, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter over low heat.
Stir constantly with a heatproof spatula until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
