Recipe View Once cooled, cut the fudge into squares and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the fudge for enhanced nuttiness. Be careful not to overcook the fudge during the boiling stage, as this can result in a dry, crumbly texture. If you don’t have walnuts on hand, pecans or almonds make excellent substitutes.
For easier removal, line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some excess hanging over the sides. Once the fudge is cooled, you can simply lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper as handles. This prevents sticking and makes cutting the fudge into perfect squares a breeze.
