Ingredients
Servings:
| 3 cup | chocolate chips (semi-sweet) |
| 1 ¼ cup | sweetened condensed milk (one 14-oz can) |
| 3 tbsp | butter |
| 1 ½ tsp | vanilla extract |
| ½ tsp | salt |
| 1 cup | walnuts (toasted, chopped) |
| ¼ tsp | flaky salt (over the top before it sets)optional |
Method
- temper6 minlow heat, chips + condensed milk + butter, stirred constantlymelted together gently until glossy and pulling from the pan's sides — low and stirred is the entire technique: chocolate scorches silently at the bottom of a sweet thick mixture, and burnt fudge announces itself only at the first bite
- mix2 minoff heat: vanilla + salt + walnutsstirred through fast, because the fudge is already beginning to set — the half teaspoon of salt is carrying this dessert; unsalted fudge is the sweetest thing most people have ever quit eating after one piece
- rest125 minpressed into a lined 8x8, chilled 2 hoursspread into a parchment-lined pan (the flaky salt lands now if using), refrigerated until firm — then lifted out by the parchment and cut into small squares with a hot knife wiped between cuts; small on purpose, because fudge is a candy, not a bar, and it keeps two weeks tinned, which is why it ships in December care packages
