# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 400 g granulated sugar
02 - 65 g unsweetened cocoa powder
03 - 120 ml whole milk
04 - 60 g unsalted butter
05 - 5 ml vanilla extract

→ Add-ins (optional)

06 - 120 g chopped nuts

# How to Make It:

01 - Grease a 20x20 cm square pan and set aside.
02 - In a medium saucepan, mix granulated sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined.
03 - Add milk to the saucepan and stir thoroughly to create a uniform mixture.
04 - Add unsalted butter and place saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring consistently.
05 - Once boiling, continue to stir constantly for 5 minutes. Maintain an even simmer to prevent scorching and promote a smooth texture.
06 - Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in vanilla extract. If using, fold in chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
07 - Pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
08 - Allow fudge to cool at room temperature for approximately 2 hours until fully set. Once firm, cut into squares for serving.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Maintain constant stirring during boiling to prevent burning and ensure a silky texture.
02 - Cool fudge at room temperature for optimal consistency; refrigeration may cause graininess.
03 - Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
04 - For best results when cutting, use a sharp knife and wipe clean between each cut.
05 - To freeze, wrap fudge pieces individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
06 - Customize by adding different nuts, chocolate chips, or a touch of peppermint extract.
