Christmas Fudge
Christmas fudge is a popular treat with condensed milk, chocolate, and nuts made during Christmas. It’s got a creamy and rich flavor with a delicious crunch in every bite. A must-try for all you chocolate lovers.
Traditional fudge can take a long time to make but this delicious treat takes less than 5 minutes and it’s so easy.
Ingredients and substitutes
- Condensed milk – the purpose of the condensed milk is to reduce the cooking time so we do not have to cook the milk until it thickens to less than 1/3 its original volume. You can use store bought or homemade condensed milk
- Chocolate – we use bitter-sweet chocolate instead of cocoa powder in this recipe because unlike cocoa powder the chocolate contains cocoa fat which helps the fudge set.
- Butter – adds richness and add a nice chiewness to the fudge.
- Nuts – I am using a combination of walnuts and cashews but you can use just one or a combination of more than one.
- Vanilla extract – I like to use vanilla extract but you can also use almond or rose extract.

Thank you, Smilie. So happy you enjoyed this fudge. Appreciate you coming back to write this feedback
The recipe does not mention when to add the walnuts. Are they to be added along with the cocoa powder?
Hey Chris, the walnuts go at the end with the vanilla extract. Thanks
