Easy Fudge

Easy Fudge

This easy fudge recipe is excellent.  If you can use good chocolate I encourage you to do so.  You can also leave out the nuts if you are not a “nut person.”

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Pecan or Walnut Pieces

1 Tablespoon Butter

1/8 Teaspoon Salt

1 Can (14 ounces) Sweetened Condensed Milk

7 Ounces Chopped Milk Chocolate Chips

11 Ounces Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips or Dark Chocolate

1 Tablespoon Vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350° F

Line the bottom and sides of an 8x8x2 inch pan with foil and grease well.  Spread nuts on a medium baking sheet and roast until lightly browned (10 to 12 minutes).  While the nuts are still hot stir in 1 tablespoon butter and sprinkle with salt.  Combine the condensed milk and all the chocolate in a large glass bowl and melt in the microwave at 50 percent power for about 3 minutes.  Stir frequently.  As soon as the chocolate is melted remove from the microwave and stir in the vanilla and roasted nuts.  Pour into the prepared pan and refrigerate to cool & set.  Remove from the pan, peel off the foil and cut into approximately thirty 1 ½ inch squares.
