This super easy and quick recipe will satisfy your chocolate craving in a jiffy! This chocolate fudge is rich and has just the right consistency. I can’t believe how easy it is to make and there is minimal prep time. When you are having a craving, who wants a complicated recipe?

This recipe is also great around the holidays. I like to cut the fudge into smaller pieces placed into a mini baking cups and serve them in a decorative tin. I also like to have a chocolate bar with different kinds of fudge and candy. Bring on the chocolate!

Prep time

Ingredients

3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14oz) can Eagle’s sweetened condensed milk
Dash of salt
1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

Directions

Using an 8 inch square pan, line the sides and bottom with aluminum foil
Over low heat in a medium sized saucepan, add chocolate chips, condensed milk and salt. While chips are melting, stir frequently until chips are melted and the mixture is smooth
Remove saucepan from heat and add vanilla extract and walnuts (if desired). Stir until well combined
Pour mixture into the prepared pan and spread mixture evenly using a spatula or a knife
Cover tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate until fudge is firm (about 90 minutes to 2 hours)
Lift fudge from pan by holding the foil. Remove the foil from the bottom and sides of the fudge and place on a cutting board
Cut fudge into desired size pieces (I prefer bite sized) and enjoy!
Fudge can be stored at room temperature, but keep it covered

Notes

I prefer the simplicity of the rich fudge by itself so I don’t add walnuts. It’s definitely a personal preference though
If serving at a party or at the office, I make half with walnuts and half without
