Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup mixed nuts (walnuts or pecans), chopped
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
- Melt the Butter: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and sweetened condensed milk, stirring until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
- Mix the Ingredients: Remove from heat, then stir in the maple syrup, cocoa powder, chopped nuts, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Let it cool at room temperature for about an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set.
- Cut and Serve: Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles. Enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Flavor Variations: Swap the mixed nuts for other varieties like almonds or cashews for different textures and tastes.
- For a firmer texture: Let the fudge chill overnight in the fridge.
