Easy Walnut Fudge Recipe
The easiest Walnut Fudge recipe! Only 4 ingredients and no candy thermometer needed. It's the best rich chocolate fudge with nuts, perfect for Christmas.
Ingredients
- 1 cup walnuts (toasted) (140 grams)
- 10½ ounces dark chocolate (chopped good quality) (300 grams)
- 8½ ounces sweetened condensed milk (250 grams)
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Lightly butter a 6x6 inch square pan.
- Roast the walnuts on a cookie sheet for approximately 6-8 minutes turning the nuts half way through. Remove immediately to a clean bowl to cool. (Do not leave the nuts on the cookie sheet or they will continue to bake) Once the nuts are cool, coarsely chop, set aside.
- In a large bowl melt the chocolate either bain marie or microwave. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, then add the vanilla and combine. Fold in the chopped nuts mix well. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan. Flatten the mixture lightly with lightly buttered hands. Cover with plastic wrap and let set until firm, 4-5 hours at room temperature. Chill 30 minutes then cut. Enjoy!
Notes
Keep your chocolate walnut fudge in an airtight container at room temperature. I like to separate the layers with parchment paper so the fudge pieces don't stick together. It should keep well for up to one to two weeks.
To freeze the fudge it is best to cut it into pieces first and place in a freezer safe container, place parchment paper between the layers. Stored properly it will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw the fudge overnight in the fridge.
