Chocolate Walnut Fudge Recipe
๐ Total Time: 7 minutes
๐ฅ Yield: 36 slices
Ingredients:
- 400g butter
- 375g dark chocolate, chopped
- 60g cocoa powder
- Handful of walnuts (or pecans, or nuts of your choice)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the required ingredients. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces for easy melting.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe jug or bowl, combine the butter, chopped dark chocolate, and cocoa powder.
-
Microwave: Heat the mixture in the microwave on medium heat (50%) for 5 to 6 minutes, pausing to stir every 2 minutes. This ensures even melting and prevents burning.
-
Add Nuts: Once the mixture is smooth and fully melted, add a handful of walnuts or your preferred nuts into the mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the nuts throughout the fudge.
-
Prepare Tray: Line a tray, approximately 200mm x 250mm, with foil. This will make it easier to remove the fudge once it has set.
-
Pour Mixture: Pour the melted chocolate fudge mixture into the lined tray, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
-
Refrigerate: Place the tray of fudge into the refrigerator to cool and set. This typically takes about an hour, but you can leave it longer for a firmer texture.
-
Slice and Serve: Once the fudge has cooled and set completely, remove it from the refrigerator. Carefully lift the foil out of the tray and place the fudge slab on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the fudge into small squares or rectangles.
-
Enjoy: Serve the delicious chocolate walnut fudge immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.
