This is not the first time I have tried to make fudge. This is probably the third time. I have either made taffy (clotted cream fudge) or chocolate soup (mint chocolate fudge with coconut). Both times I had a recipe. I thought I was fine. Turns out I just wasn’t ready to be graced with delicious home made chocolates. Today was the day though. I looked at yet another recipe and I felt confident. At this point I am convinced fudge can smell fear as you’re cooking. Don’t let it see you sweat.
To my surprise it took me all of five minutes to put together and about two hours to set up in my fridge. If you are having one of those days where you just need some chocolate. The kids have told you their 750th story because they are stuck at home with you and you just need a moments peace. I promise you this will work. Good luck to you!
Chocolate Walnut Fudge
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk. ( not evaporated milk…that’s how I got chocolate soup.)
- 1/4 cup walnut pieces
- 1 tsp vanilla (optional…I say optional because I forgot it when I made it and it turned out fine.)
Directions
- Line a 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
- On a low heat in a small sauce pan put your condensed milk and chocolate chips. Cook until chocolate is melted and smooth. Should take about five minutes.
- Take it off the heat and add your vanilla (if you want) and walnut pieces. Stir to combine.
- Put in your prepared pan and allow up to two hours to chill. Cut and serve to yourself and maybe the rest of your house if you want. Or hide in the closet and eat them like you do with the rest of the sweets you don’t want to share.
