Welcome to Christmas Cookie Week!! I had no idea Erin was hosting this on her cooking blog until Renee posted about it, and now I can’t wait to see all the recipes at the end of the week! I may make some cookies later on, but for now I figured I’d contribute quite possibly the best fudge you’ve ever had. Ever. IN YOUR LIFE!!! I know they’re not cookies, but trust me, you’ll want to make an exception for…
CHOCOLATE NUTELLA & SEA SALT FUDGE
(Booyah)
You only need 6 ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon Butter, For Greasing Pan
- 1 can (14 Oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 8 ounces, weight High-quality Bittersweet (60%) Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut Spread), Room Temperature
- 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature, Cut Into 1/2-inch Pieces
- ½ teaspoons (approximately) Sea Salt
Grease the bottom and sides of an 8- by 8-inch baking pan with butter. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overlap on the sides.
In a medium glass or stainless steel bowl, stir together sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, bittersweet chocolate chips, Nutella, and butter.
GRATUITOUS NUTELLA SHOT!!!
Form a double-boiler by setting the bowl over a medium pot of gently simmering water. The water level should be low enough that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth, 5 to 7 minutes.
[Insert picture of chocolate mixture melting in the double-boiler here. (aka I forgot to take a picture of this step BOTH times I made the fudge.)]
Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan, spread the top smooth with a spatula, and sprinkle with sea salt. Refrigerate until the fudge is firm, at least 2 hours.
Once the fudge is chilled, run a knife under hot water, dry it off, and run it around the edges of the pan to loosen the fudge. Using the overhanging parchment paper, lift the fudge out. Peel off the parchment paper. Cut the fudge into 3/4-inch squares. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container or wrapped well in plastic wrap and foil.
Yeah, this fudge is AMAZING. There’s just something about chocolate and sea salt that is quite possibly the best combination ever. Make the fudge. Impress your family and friends. Or make it for yourself and eat the whole pan. I was tempted. I’m pregnant, I’m allowed.

Enjoy!!

I love nutella and salted chocolate, so I have a feeling I would adore this fudge. I’ll have to try this recipe
Salty, chocolatey goodness? Yes, please! I’ll definitely have to try this recipe. The fudge recipes I’ve made in the past never turn out quite right. Hopefully I have better luck with this one.
HOLY CRAP THAT LOOKS GOOD.
I literally just saw this on Erin’s blog! These look amazing, can’t go wrong with nutella!
Lacey! This looks SO AMAZING, and I must try this sometime soon. I’ve never made fudge before, but it sounds easy enough and the end result looks worth it!
Thanks for participating, lovely!
OMW – yummmmmm!
Oh. My. Delicious.
Pretty sure this will be favors for my wedding. Done and done.
