Perfect! Here’s a classic, simple chocolate fudge recipe that’s rich, creamy, and easy to make at home:
Ingredients
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan
- Line an 8×8-inch (or 9×9-inch) square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Melt chocolate mixture
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
- Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat.
- Add flavorings
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- If using nuts, fold them in now.
- Pour and set
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Let it cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or refrigerate for faster setting.
- Cut and serve
- Once firm, lift out the fudge using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
💡 Tips for perfect fudge:
- Don’t overheat the chocolate; high heat can make it grainy.
- Use good-quality chocolate for the richest flavor.
- For a softer, melt-in-your-mouth texture, you can add 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar when melting the chocolate.
If you want, I can also give you a quick 5-minute microwave version—no stove required, still super creamy!
