Instructions:

Melt the Chocolate:
Begin by melting the semi-sweet chocolate chips. You can do this by placing them in a saucepan over low heat or using a microwave. Stir occasionally until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. -
Prepare the Mixture:
Once the chocolate has melted, add the condensed milk to the saucepan, stirring to combine. Next, add the chocolate wafers (or coffee-flavored wafer biscuits), half of the walnuts, and the vanilla extract. Stir everything together until well combined. This mixture should be thick and slightly sticky. -
Set the Fudge Base:
Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Pour the chocolate mixture into the pan and spread it evenly, pressing it down gently to form a smooth surface. -
Add the Final Touch:
Sprinkle the remaining walnuts (or chocolate chips/caramel chips) over the top of the mixture, pressing them lightly into the fudge. -
Cool and Set:
Let the fudge mixture cool to room temperature. Once it has cooled, transfer the pan to the refrigerator and allow it to chill for about 1 hour, or until firm. -
Cut and Serve:
Once the fudge brownies have set, cut them into 2-inch squares. For best results, allow them to chill in the fridge for a bit longer before serving to ensure they are firm and easy to slice. -
Enjoy:
Serve these No-Bake Fudge Brownies as a dessert after your meal or as an indulgent treat with a cup of coffee. Perfect for when you need a quick, no-fuss dessert!
