Keeper Project Recipe: Dark Chocolate Fudge

These Keeper Project Recipes are for our kids, but it is also for us because we change recipes, make them once a year, forget about them and then wonder where we got the original recipe from. 

Big Spazz makes these for his gift trays and always pairs it with the peanut butter fudge

Ingredients:

3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 - 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup unsalted cashews (see note), coarse chopped

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Course sea salt for sprinkling on top

Diretions:

• Over low heat, in a double boiler or pot with boiling water turned to a simmer and a pyrex bowl that sits on the pot without touching the water, melt the chips in the sweetened condensed milk.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the nuts and vanilla.
• Spread evenly into an aluminum foil lined 8x8 or 9x9 pan.
• Sprinkls some sea salt on top.
• Chill and pop out of pan.
• Peel off foil and cut into 1" squares. 

Note: 

You may use other nuts like walnuts

We like to put our nitrile gloves on and put the fudge pieces in a mini muffin paper liner. We can usually fit about 18 pieces of fudge in a bento box.
