I was making N's Sucre a la Creme this morning when Mr. Ed wandered through the kitchen. He loved the smell of sugar and maple syrup but when I said it was going to be fudge he pouted a little. Mr. Ed is a chocolate man. Luckily, I am the best wife ever and had all the ingredients on hand. So today we have a batch of Maple Syrup Fudge and a Batch of Chocolate Fudge sitting in the fridge for after dinner tastiness. I am curious to see how much is actually left by the time N and I get back from gymnastics...
Easy Chocolate Fudge with Pretzels
Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (16 ounces)
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 1/2 cups roughly chopped miniature pretzels
Directions
-
Step 1
Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. -
Step 2
Place butter, chocolate chips, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until chocolate just melts and mixture is combined and warm but not hot, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups pretzels. Transfer mixture to pan and smooth top; press 1/2 cup pretzels on top. Refrigerate until set, 2 hours (or up to overnight, wrapped). Using parchment, lift fudge from pan and cut into 36 squares.
