FABULOUS FUDGE



Fabulous Fudge image

Provided by Anne Thornton, Host of Dessert First

Time 3h20m

Yield about 64 squares

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Fine sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Add the condensed milk to a small saucepan. Pour the chips into the pan, give a stir, and make sure that the milk coats all the chips. Add a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat until it's melted and glossy and a looks like a thick, hot fudge.
  • Add the vanilla and walnuts, making sure to coat the nuts with the fudge. (I like to make double triple batches of this and freeze the extra.)
  • Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with foil. You want to leave about 4 inches of overhang on the 2 opposite sides. These serve as your handles to remove the fudge from the pan in 1 piece, so make sure that there is enough of the overhang for you to have a solid grip.
  • Pour the fudge into the pan and smooth it out, getting it in all the corners. Let the fudge come to room temperature, then put in the fridge for 3 hours or so. This will make it easier to cut.
  • Pop out of the pan and cut into little pieces.

  • Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients directly impacts the final product. Use high-quality chocolate, butter, and flour to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Properly Grease and Flour the Pan: This prevents the cake from sticking to the pan and makes it easier to remove after baking.
