Description
A rich, creamy fudge infused with chocolate, vanilla, and a sprinkle of love, perfect for celebrating connections on Valentine’s Day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups high-quality chocolate (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional add-ins: nuts (walnuts, pecans), coconut flakes, or candy pieces
Instructions
- Prepare your pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Melt the chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir gently until melted and smooth.
- Add flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. If including any add-ins, fold them in now.
- Pour into the pan: Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Chill: Let the fudge cool at room temperature for an hour, then refrigerate for another 2 hours or until set.
- Cut and serve: Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan, then cut into squares.
Notes
Choose high-quality chocolate for best results. Be patient during the cooling process for the perfect fudge texture.
