Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate Use high-quality chocolate for best results.
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup Use the real deal for the best flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt A tiny pinch to balance the sweetness.
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts Lightly toasted if you can.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment and let the paper hang over the sides for easy lifting later.
  2. Warm the condensed milk and maple syrup together in a small pot over low heat until just steamy.
  3. Remove from heat, add the white chocolate, and let sit for 2 minutes before stirring slowly until smooth.
  4. If needed, return the pot to low heat for a few seconds at a time while stirring gently to fully melt.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract and salt, then fold in the toasted walnuts.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Optionally, sprinkle extra walnut pieces on top.
  7. Let it set at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours, or chill in the fridge for 45 to 60 minutes until firm.
  8. Lift the fudge out by the parchment, cut into squares with a sharp knife, and enjoy!

Notes

Fudge is best stored in an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for about 2 weeks, or in the fridge. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
