Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups dark chocolate morsels
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup crushed holiday-themed candies (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by lining it with foil, allowing some to hang over the edges for easy lifting later.
- In a saucepan set over low heat, combine the dark chocolate morsels, evaporated milk, and sea salt. Stir the mixture gently until the chocolate is fully melted and silky smooth.
- Take the pan off the heat and mix in the almond extract. If desired, gently incorporate the chopped pecans and crushed holiday candies for added texture and flavor.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture into the lined baking pan, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for a minimum of 2 hours, or until the chocolate has completely set.
- Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil overhang and slice it into bite-sized squares.
Notes
- For an extra festive flair, drizzle melted caramel over the top before refrigerating.
- Swap the pecans for dried cherries or colorful sprinkles to create a unique twist on this classic treat.
