  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, walnuts or pecans)
  • 1 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Melt Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.

  4. Add Nuts

    Fold in chopped nuts if using, ensuring even distribution throughout the fudge mixture.

    Nuts add a nice crunch to the fudge.
  5. Set the Fudge

    Pour the fudge mixture into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish. Spread evenly.

    Use a spatula for a smooth finish.
  6. Chill

    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.

    For quicker setting, place in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  7. Cut and Serve

    Once set, cut into squares and serve.
