Fudge Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cups white chocolate chips (16 ounces)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons maple extract
- pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan with lightly greased parchment paper or non-stick foil to prevent sticking.
- Melt Chocolate and Milk: Place the white chocolate chips and the can of sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 90 seconds at 70% power. Stir well using the residual heat until chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. If necessary, microwave in additional 15-second intervals until fully melted.
- Alternative Stovetop Method: If preferred, melt the chocolate and milk using a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
- Add Flavor and Nuts: Stir in the maple extract and a pinch of salt. Fold in the coarsely chopped walnuts thoroughly to evenly distribute them in the fudge mixture.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for several hours until it is well set and firm enough to cut.
- Serve: Remove from the pan, cut into approximately 25 squares, and enjoy.

- This flavorful maple walnut fudge is simple to make using either a microwave or stovetop method to fit your kitchen preferences.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate in the microwave; stir often for a smooth consistency.
