Ingredients and Substitutions to make Nutella Fudge

How to make Nutella Fudge
Making this easy nutella fudge recipe is as simple as 1-2-3!
First you'll want to grab a microwave bowl and add nutella, chocolate and sweetened condensed milk.
Give it a good stir then microwave it for 20-30 seconds at a time, stirring well between each session, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
It usually takes me about 3 30 second sessions until it reaches the right consistency.
While it's being warmed up, place parchment paper in a small rectangular baking dish.
Pour the hot fudge mixture into the baking dish and smooth it out.
Sprinkle it with flaky salt on top.
Place in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours or until the fudge has hardened.
Once set, cut up into chunks and serve.

Frequently asked questions
Can I customize Nutella fudge with additional ingredients?
Of course! My Nutella fudge recipe is super versatile and can be customized to suit your taste. You can add chopped nuts like hazelnuts or almonds or even rice krispies for extra crunch and flavor. Or you can mix in cute little mini marshmallows, some crushed up oreo cookies, or even chocolate chips to create different variations of Nutella fudge.
Can fudge be frozen?
Absolutely! First, make sure it's cut into bite sized pieces. Next, lay it on a small plate or baking sheet and plate it flat in the freezer. Once frozen, you can take peach piece and put it on a ziplock baggy. It's best to eat it within 3 months.
