Ingredients
Fudge Ingredients
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 ounces) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Grease an 8-inch square baking pan thoroughly to ensure the fudge doesn’t stick and can be easily removed once set.
- Melt the chocolate mixture: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until everything is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Add walnuts and vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped walnuts and vanilla extract. Mix well to evenly distribute the nuts and flavor throughout the fudge base.
- Spread the fudge: Pour and spread the chocolate mixture evenly into the greased baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill to set: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for approximately 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
- Serve: Once set, cut the fudge into 16 equal squares and enjoy this rich, homemade chocolate walnut treat.
Notes
- Use a spatula to spread the fudge evenly in the pan for a smooth finish.
- Ensure low heat when melting to prevent burning the chocolate.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For a different flavor twist, try adding a pinch of sea salt or substituting walnuts with pecans.
