For the Chocolate Topping (Optional):
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or melted butter
Instructions
1. Prepare the Baking Dish
- Line a square 8×8-inch dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
- This prevents the fudge from sticking and makes removal easier.
2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
- Melt using a double boiler method (placing the bowl over simmering water) or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
3. Add Flavor and Nuts
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped nuts.
- Mix until evenly distributed.
4. Pour and Set
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
5. Add the Chocolate Topping (Optional)
- Melt the milk chocolate chips with heavy cream or butter until smooth.
- Pour over the fudge and spread evenly for a glossy, extra-chocolatey finish.
6. Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until fully set.
- Once firm, lift the fudge from the dish using the parchment paper.
- Cut into squares and serve.
