Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Yields: Approximately 30-40 medium fudge squares
Ingredients:
10 oz. milk chocolate, roughly chopped
8 oz. dark chocolate (bittersweet), roughly chopped
1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 t. pure vanilla extract
1/8 t. salt
3/4 c. walnuts, roughly chopped
Flakey sea salt or fleur de sel, for topping, to taste
Directions:
-
Line an 8 or 9-inch square pan with parchment paper, making sure there is enough overhang to cover all the sides of the pan. Set aside.
-
In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, add both chocolates and the condensed milk and heat over low heat.
-
Cook, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is mostly melted and the mixture thickens, approximately 5-6 minutes. Most of the chocolate should be melted but some chunks may not be fully melted but will continue to melt from the residual heat.
-
Remove from heat and add the salt and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
-
Fold in the walnut pieces and stir to combine.
-
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, sprinkle with the desired amount of flakey sea salt and place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or until set.
-
When ready to serve, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan and cut into bite-size squares.
Enjoy!
