Ingredients
- 16 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped fine
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped fine
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon table salt
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup toasted walnuts coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with HEAVY DUTY foil, allowing excess to overhang (see picture). Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
- In a medium heat-proof bowl add chocolates, baking soda, and salt. Toss until baking soda is evenly distributed. Pour in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla; stir. Place bowl over a 4-quart saucepan with 2 cups of simmering water. Stir constantly until chocolate is almost completely melted and a few small pieces remain about 2-4 minutes.
- Take the bowl off the heat and stir until chocolate is completely melted and smooth about 2 minutes. Fold in walnuts. Pour fudge into prepared pan and spread to make an even layer. Chill until set, about 2 hours. Use foil overhang to lift foil from pan and cut into squares.
Notes
This recipe makes 2.5 pounds of fudge.
FOR A DOUBLE BATCH:
- Line a 13 by 9-inch pan with two sheets of foil placed next to each other, overlapping slightly. This will allow the foil to overlap on all sides making handles.
- Double all of the ingredients. In step 2, use a large heatproof bowl and Dutch oven containing 4 cups simmering water.
- A double batch of this fudge will need about 3 hours in the refrigerator to set.
