Fudge Ingredients
- 2 cups Nutella
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Nutella and Condensed Milk: In a saucepan over low heat, combine 2 cups of Nutella with 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently to prevent scorching, and heat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips and Vanilla: Once the base mixture is uniform, add 2 cups of chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue stirring over low heat until the chocolate chips have completely melted into the mixture, creating a glossy fudge base.
- Fold in Nuts (Optional): If desired, gently fold in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts to add texture and a nutty flavor to the fudge. This step is optional and can be customized based on preference.
- Pour into Baking Dish: Line a baking dish with parchment or wax paper for easy removal. Pour the warm fudge mixture evenly into the prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours until the fudge is firm and set. Once set, cut into squares and serve immediately for a delicious festive treat.
Notes
- Use good quality Nutella for the best flavor and texture.
- For a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped nuts.
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper for easy fudge removal.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Allow fudge to sit at room temperature a few minutes before serving for softer bites.
