Make rich, dense, homemade chocolate fudge with walnuts using this easy, no-bake recipe. Achieve a smooth texture perfect for traditional fudge gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter.
  3. Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil. This step is key for a smooth texture.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped walnuts.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread evenly.
  6. Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour until firm.
  7. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Place on a cutting board.
  8. Cut into small squares. This recipe makes a high yield of treats.

Notes

  • For the smoothest fudge, use good quality chocolate chips.
  • If you want a richer chocolate flavor, substitute half the semi-sweet chips with dark chocolate chips.
  • This easy walnut fudge stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
