We really enjoyed this fudge with the dried fruit and nuts. Toasting the nuts really brings out a great flavor and aroma to the fudge. The bright flavors of the dried fruit and their chewy bite add another great dimension to this chocolatey fudge. Each bite had so many wonderful flavors and textures that it was really hard to just eat one.

What also makes our fudge so great is the light sprinkle of sea salt on top. The contrast between the sweet chocolate and salty layer of flavor makes each bite more delicious and fabulous. But if you don’t like salt, it’s still great without it!

Super Easy Fudge

Cooling

2 hrs

Total Time

30 mins

 

Make sure to be careful and not over-microwave the chocolate chips or else they will be too hard.

Servings: 10 servings

Ingredients

• 3 cups (18 ounces or 510g) Chocolate Chips
• 1 can (14 oz - 397g) Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1 cup (240ml) chopped nuts, toasted
• 1/2 cup (120ml) dried fruit, such as dried cherries, apricots, raisins, etc. (optional)
• sea salt (optional)

Directions

1. Grease 8x8 inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In large microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave on High in 30 second intervals or until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Stir to make sure everything is combined because the chocolate chips will continue to melt as you stir.
3. Add the nuts and optional dried fruit to the chocolate and stir to combine the mixture.
4. Pour the fudge mixture into the baking pan and lightly press to evenly flatten the fudge and to press into the edges of pan to make sure chocolate fills the corners. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
5. Chill the fudge for about 2-3 hours or until the fudge is cooled and solid enough to be removed from the pan. Once the fudge is cooled, remove from the pan and cut into bite sized pieces.
