How to Make Classic Fudge

  1. Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
  2. Combine 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 4 ounces of bittersweet chocolate (chopped), and one 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk in a double boiler set over simmering water (do not boil).
  3. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts (or your favorite nuts).
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  7. Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang, cut into squares, and serve.
  8. Store uncovered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
