Ingredients
Scale
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 pinch salt
Instructions
Line an 8×4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until combined.
Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into small squares for your small-batch indulgence.
Notes
For a different flavor, substitute pecans or almonds for the walnuts in this easy fudge recipe.
If the fudge seems too soft after chilling, return it to the refrigerator for another hour.
Store leftover chocolate walnut fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
