Dark Chocolate Fudge with Walnuts

Much awaited and much requested recipe by my friends here in Austin after they got a taste of it over Halloween. Now the secret will be out because it is so easy to make. A neighborhood friend had made some for me years ago and she was kind enough to share the recipe. I have somewhat adjusted it to my taste over the years. 

RECIPE: Dark chocolate Fudge with Walnuts

Ingredients

16-18oz Semi sweet chocolate chips
2oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped fine
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8th tsp salt
1 can (14oz) Sweetened condensed milk
1 TBSP Vanilla extract
1 Cup Walnuts, coarsely crushed 

Method

1. Line an 8"x 8" square pan with parchment paper. Fold if you need to, it will be easier to pull the fudge out of the pan once set. it will easily peel off before cutting into squares.
2. Make a double boiler with a pan on water and fit a bowl over it. Make sure the top bowl does not touch the water.
3. Toss the chocolates, baking soda, salt, condensed milk and vanilla.
4. Stir until its melted and remove from heat. Mix to make sure its not lumpy and has a smooth texture.
5. Stir in walnuts. 
6. Pour into prepared pan and even the top with spatula. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until set. When ready to use, pull it out, peel off the parchment paper  and cut into 1" squares.

Hope you enjoy it and don't forget to leave a comment.
