How to Make Foolproof Dark Chocolate Fudge

  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 14 ounces (397g) of dark chocolate chips with 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, stirring frequently until smooth and creamy.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup (60g) chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite!) and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  3. Line an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  4. Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  6. Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang. Peel off the foil and cut into 1-inch squares.
