Day 11 of my “12 Days of Baked Goods” series!

Seeing that I was doing a holiday baking compilation, my mom sent me her easy fudge recipe that you can make with just four ingredients (three if you don’t want to use nuts). If you like marshmallows, you could easily add ½ cup by reducing the nuts by ½ cup.

Ingredients:

• 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (or other nuts like almonds, hazelnuts, Macadamia)
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Butter or coat with cooking spray a 9-inch baking pan.
2. In a heavy medium saucepan over low heat, add the condensed milk and the chocolate chips. Cook, stirring frequently, until fully melted – do not allow the mixture to boil or scorch. Remove the pan from the heat, add the walnuts and the vanilla and stir well to fully combine into the chocolate.
3. Pour the chocolate mixture into the greased baking pan and allow to fully cool. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. Cut the fudge into 24-28 squares, depending how large you want your pieces to be – a little goes a long way!

Yields 24-28 squares.

Cheers,
