Instructions

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter. Microwave in 30-second increments **, stirring between each increment until the chocolate chips are just melted.

Sift in the cocoa powder and add the vanilla and salt. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth. Fold in the chopped walnuts.

Smooth the fudge into a baking pan that has been lined with wax paper, parchment paper, or greased with butter. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the fudge to set. Remove from the pan and slice with a sharp knife.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cocoa Quality Matters 🍫
Use high-quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder for a deeper, more complex chocolate flavor that elevates the entire fudge.
Precise Temperature Control 🌡️
Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches exactly 234-238°F (soft-ball stage) for the perfect fudge consistency.
Toasting Walnut Technique 🥜
Lightly toast walnuts in a dry skillet before adding to the fudge to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a more complex texture.
Smooth Mixing Magic 🥄
Stir the chocolate mixture in a figure-eight motion and avoid over-beating to prevent sugar crystallization and ensure a creamy texture.
Salt Sprinkle Perfection 🧂
Finish the fudge with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt just before it sets to create a perfect sweet-and-salty balance.
