Nutella Fudge Recipe • A Delicious Holiday Treat! | Club Foody

 

The Holidays is the time of year when we deliberately indulge ourselves! We drink more 🥂 and eat a lot too. When it comes to January, most of us go on a diet due to the overdose of yumminess we enjoyed the month before plus returning to our normal routines…
 
Back to December…
When it comes to sweet treats, there’s a long list 📜 of them. I think of Gingerbread Cookies, Bûche de Noël, Chocolate Rum Snowballs, Pfeffernüsse, Fruitcake, Chocolate Peppermint Bars, Cranberry Orange Bundt Cake, etc.
 
Another treat perfect for the Holidays that I like making year after year is my Nutella Fudge! Oh my, what a crowd pleaser! Smooth and creamy with some crunch from the chopped walnuts, this is the elevated version of my mother’s 👵 chocolate fudge recipe.
 
As I mentioned on the Gingerbread Coffee Creamer blog, here in Canada, our sweetened condensed milk cans read 🧐 300 ml or 10 oz. while Americans say 14 oz. Actually, both have the same amount in the can which is 1 ¼ cups. Why aren’t both countries labelling it the same? No idea but that should be rectified!
 
It’s just the two of us and despite the fact that we like Nutella on our toast in the morning or using it as an ingredient for desserts, this spread can be sitting in the pantry for too long. To salvage it, this is how I came up with this recipe and has been a favorite 💖 ever since!
 
It’s fairly easy to make 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 as long as you ensure that all the chocolate chips are melted. The other tip is to stir continuously even after the chocolate is melted for an extra 3 to 5 minutes. If not, the sugar crystals will remain large and as a result, the texture will be hard and grainy. Also, use a heavy bottom saucepan.
 
Nutella Fudge is super yummy as is but if you have kids at home 👧👱‍♂️ – mine is over 60 years old -, and if no one has allergies to nuts, adding some walnuts or hazelnuts gives a bit of crunch to the treat. It’s not just a big block of sugar lacking texture…
 
After our arm is numb from stirring 🥄 constantly for 15 minutes, quickly pour the mixture into a square pan lined with parchment paper. As it cools off, it will start to harden so do this fast and don’t forget to spread it out and level it out evenly as well. If you’re not sure how to line your pan, here’s the link… Lining a Square Pan with Parchment Paper
 
What takes the most time is to let the fudge set up in the fridge for 3 to 4 hours. When ready to serve, cut it into small cubes. I like to have them in 1-inch square as it’s easier to eat. For a neater presentation, clean your knife 🔪 in between cuts.
 
Being one of my favorite Christmas 🎄 treats, this delicious Nutella Fudge is a perfect confection to make. With gorgeous layers of flavor combined with some crunch, be warned because these little guys won’t last long!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
