Ingredients
2 cups semisweet chocolate chopped, 340g
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chopped, 340g
28 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup walnuts or pecans optional
Directions
- Line a 9×9 inch dish with foil or sheets of parchment paper. You can use a larger dish like 9×13, the fudge will just be a bit thinner. Give the foil or paper a spritz of cooking spray or a swipe of melted butter to help it peel off later
- Add all the ingredients except the vanilla extract into a medium heavy-bottomed pot and place on low heat stirring frequently.
- Once the mixture has thickened and become shiny stir in the vanilla and pour it into your prepared dish and smooth with a spatula. Set aside to cool completely, at least an hour.
- When your fudge has cooled down remove from the dish, peel foil, or paper off and cut into squares with a sharp knife.
- You can enjoy the fudge immediately or wrap in parchment or wax paper.
