Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (510 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup (125 grams) chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite)
Complementary Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) butter
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a smooth, glossy foundation by gently melting chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until completely integrated and silky.
- Immediately remove the saucepan from heat and incorporate chopped nuts and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly throughout the molten chocolate mixture.
- Transfer the luxurious fudge blend into a pre-greased 8-inch square baking pan, using a spatula to create an uniform surface and eliminate any potential air pockets.
- Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for approximately 2 hours at 40°F, allowing the mixture to solidify and develop a perfect, dense texture.
- Once the fudge has completely set and reached a firm consistency, slice into precise square portions using a sharp knife, creating clean, professional-looking segments ready for serving.
Notes
- Choose high-quality chocolate chips for richer, more intense flavor and smoother texture.
- Swap nuts with alternative mix-ins like dried fruit, crushed peppermint, or coconut flakes for variety.
- Use a non-stick silicone pan for easier removal and cleaner cutting of fudge squares.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to maintain freshness and prevent crumbling.
