Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon light corn syrup.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a full boil, stirring until the sugar and butter are completely dissolved.
  3. Once boiling, add 2 bars of unsweetened bitter baking chocolate to the mixture.
  4. Continue to boil the mixture for exactly 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately after the 3 minutes are complete.
  6. Add 2 cups of sifted confectioners sugar (powdered sugar) to the hot mixture.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
  8. Beat the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon or mixer until the sugar is fully blended and the fudge begins to thicken and pull away from the sides of the pan.
  9. Pour the fudge into an 8-inch square pan lined with parchment paper or foil.
  10. Pat the surface flat with your fingers or a spatula to create an even layer.
  11. Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature until firm, which may take 1 to 2 hours.
  12. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the paper lining and cut into squares with a sharp knife.
