Nutella Fudge

Makes 25-35 squares, depending on size

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup salted butter (you can use unsalted, but the salt brings out the sweetness)
  • 1/2 whole milk or half and half
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 2 1/2 cups – 2 3/4 cups confectioner’s sugar

1. Grease an 8×8 pan. Place the confectioner’s sugar in a mixing bowl and set aside.

2. Melt butter over medium low heat. Add the milk and light brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then boil for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from the heat and quickly add the vanilla and Nutella. Stir until the Nutella is melted.

3. Carefully pour the hot Nutella mixture over the confectioner’s sugar and mix quickly until completely combined. Once everything comes together, it will set pretty fast. Pour/scoop the fudge into your greased 8×8 pan. Press the fudge into the pan, if needed. Chill for 2 hours. via
