Instructions
Melt the Chocolate
In a saucepan, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk over low heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
Add Flavorings
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and crushed walnuts if using.
Chill the Mixture
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x9 inch pan and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Form the Rounds
Once set, cut the fudge into squares or use a cookie cutter to create rounds. Roll each piece in cocoa powder to coat.
Allow the fudge rounds to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for optimal texture.
Storage Tips
To preserve the freshness and flavor of your fudge rounds, it’s important to store them properly. Keep the fudge rounds in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out or absorbing unwanted odors from your refrigerator. If stored correctly, these treats can last for about 2 weeks, making them a great make-ahead option for holiday gatherings.
For longer storage, consider freezing the fudge rounds. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen, then transfer them to a resealable freezer bag. Thaw them in the refrigerator before serving, and they'll taste just as delicious as when they were freshly made.
Pairing Suggestions
These Delicious Fudge Rounds pair wonderfully with various beverages. Serve them alongside a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate to enhance the chocolate experience. The rich flavors complement each other perfectly, creating a comforting treat during the chilly holiday season.
If you’re hosting a holiday party, consider serving these fudge rounds with a dessert wine or a creamy liqueur. This combination not only elevates the taste but also adds a festive touch to your dessert table, impressing your guests and making your gathering even more special.
