Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 2 cups of white chocolate chips, 1 cup of honey, 1 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds), 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Prepare a 9x9 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. This will help prevent the fudge from sticking.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, honey, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Place the saucepan over low heat.
- Stir the mixture continuously as it heats up. Be patient and make sure the heat is low to prevent the chocolate from burning. Continue stirring until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Once the mixture is smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat. Quickly fold in the chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top to ensure an even surface.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes. If you prefer a firmer fudge, you can place it in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to 1 hour to set completely.
- Once the fudge is set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift it out of the baking dish. Place it on a cutting board.
- Cut the fudge into 16 equal pieces using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner edges.
- Store the Honey Nut White Fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for longer freshness. Enjoy your delicious treat!
Tips
- Use low, gentle heat to prevent chocolate from burning or seizing. Patience is key to a smooth, creamy fudge.
- For extra flavor depth, lightly toast your nuts before adding them to the mixture. This will enhance their nutty flavor and add a subtle complexity.
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best taste and smoothest texture. Avoid using white chocolate coating or candy melts.
- When cutting the fudge, use a sharp knife and clean it between cuts with a warm, damp cloth for perfectly clean edges.
- For a beautiful presentation, sprinkle a few extra chopped nuts on top of the fudge before it sets completely.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- For a fun variation, try using different types of nuts like pecans or macadamia nuts to customize the flavor profile.
