Ingredients

The following ingredients have 64 Servings
  • One (14-oz) can full-fat sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (toasted if desired)

Instruction

  • Line an 8-inch (20-centimeter) square baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving ample overhang on all sides.
  • Combine the condensed milk and chocolate chips in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon as the chocolate chips melt. Once the mixture is smooth and the chocolate chips have melted, remove pan from the heat. The mixture will be extremely thick at this point. Stir in the vanilla extract and walnuts until combined. Pour the thick mixture into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
  • Loosely cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate until set, 2 to 4 hours. (Alternatively, you can let the covered fudge sit at room temperature overnight to set.)
  • Once the fudge has set, remove it from the pan by lifting out the aluminum foil using the overhang on the sides of the pan. Invert the slab of fudge onto a cutting board, peel away the foil, and flip the fudge back over. Using a large sharp knife, slice the fudge into 1-inch (2 1/2-centimeter) squares. If the fudge has been in the refrigerator for longer than 4 hours, it might be quite stiff, so allow to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes or so before cutting. It goes without saying that this makes a spectacular gift for any occasion.
