Ingredients
- 1 (10-ounce) package of dark chocolate chips
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Method
Prepare the Chocolate Mixture
- Place the dark chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk into a microwave-safe container. Make sure the container is large enough to allow easy stirring without spilling.
- Heat the mixture in the microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval. Continue heating and stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and fully combined with the milk into a smooth, glossy mixture. Stirring frequently helps prevent scorching and ensures even melting.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as overheating can cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy instead of smooth.
Add Flavors and Nuts
- Once the chocolate mixture is smooth and fully melted, stir in the vanilla extract, mixing well so it is evenly distributed throughout the fudge base.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts, reserving a small handful to sprinkle over the top if desired. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure the nuts are evenly dispersed without breaking them down too much.
