Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Softened butter (for greasing the pan)
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
½ cup toasted chopped nuts ((optional))

Steps:

  • Line an 8-inch square pan with foil or wax or parchment paper and grease the inside with softened butter.
  • Combine the chocolate chips, condensed milk and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and stir the vanilla and the nuts, if using, into the chocolate mixture. Pour it into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Let the fudge sit in a very cool dry place until the fudge has set, or if your room is warm, chill but only after it comes to room temperature, about 1 hour more.
  • Cut into 1-inch squares and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to a week, or in the fridge if it's not all that cool in your kitchen. Let come to room temp just before serving. Makes 64 pieces.

Categories     Candy     Chocolate     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
3 cups sugar
2/3 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 cup chopped pecans
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Coat an 8 × 8-inch pan or platter with 4 tablespoons of butter. In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar, cocoa, and salt. Stir in the milk. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and continue to simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 240°F or a drop of the mixture forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in 4 tablespoons butter, the peanut butter, the pecans, and the vanilla. Pour the fudge out onto the buttered pan or platter. Let the fudge cool on the platter for 20 minutes, then cut it into bite-size pieces.

  • Use whole milk in this fudge to make it extra creamy.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the fudge will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Don't overcook the fudge: Fudge is done when it reaches a temperature of 234°F (112°C). If you overcook it, it will become grainy and crumbly.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help the fudge to set properly and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place: Fudge can be stored for up to two weeks at room temperature or for up to three months in the refrigerator.
