A rich, velvety chocolate fudge with a hint of vanilla and a pinch of sea salt, perfect for Valentine’s Day gifting or cozy date nights. This easy homemade treat combines simple ingredients for a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped bars
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt plus a sprinkle for topping
  • Optional add-ins: ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), ½ cup mini marshmallows, ¼ cup dried raspberries or cherries

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Chop chocolate into small pieces if using bars. Melt chocolate and softened butter gently in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
  4. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of fine sea salt, stirring to combine.
  5. Fold in any optional mix-ins gently, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour fudge mixture into prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle a little sea salt on top.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  8. Lift fudge out using parchment overhang and cut into 1-inch squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor. Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning or seizing. Keep all tools dry to prevent grainy texture. Chill fudge at least 2 hours or overnight for firmer squares. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water for clean cuts.
