Ingredients

The following ingredients have 36 Servings
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds, toasted
  • 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips (i.e. Ghiradelli )
  • 3/4 cup salted butter (plus additional for greasing foil)
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Instruction

  • To toast nuts: Spread in a single layer on a sheet pan. Roast in a preheated 350°F oven for 6-8 minutes or until toasted and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
  • Line an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 inch metal baking pan with heavy duty foil, leaving an overhang. Butter bottom and sides.
  • To melt chocolate: Add chocolate chips, butter and milk to a large microwave safe bowl. Cook for 3 minutes, stopping each minute, to stir. After 3 minutes, add time if needed, in 30 second increments repeating the process until completely smooth. (Made in a 1000 watt microwave)
  • Once melted, add vanilla and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat until smooth. Stop to scrape the side of the bowl, as needed.
  • By hand, quickly stir in 1/2 cup toasted nuts, mix well. Spread fudge in pan, top with remaining nuts, pressing gently into the top.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours, then lift from the pan using foil. Use a sharp knife to cut into 36 even pieces.
  • Store chilled or at room temperature in an air tight container.
