darkchocolatefudgesaltedDo you like the combination of sweet and salty? Then you will love this Salted Dark Chocolate Fudge. And it is super easy to make.

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 lb dark chocolate chips, chopped bar, or wafers
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
¼ tsp. sea salt
flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Line a 8x8" square baking pan with parchment paper or wax paper with overhang on all sides (for lifting out later).

Chop dark chocolate into small pieces. Stir sweetened condensed milk and salt together in a bowl. Add chocolate pieces and butter.

Place the bowl on top of a double boiler and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally until the mixture is melted and smooth and has thickened. Alternatively, melt the ingredients in the microwave in short 10-20 second bursts. Keep stirring in between bursts.

Pour melted mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt or coarse sea salt. Let the fudge set in the fridge for at least 2 hours, then use a sharp knife to cut into 1” pieces on a cutting board.


How to Store Fudge Made with Condensed Milk:

  • Homemade fudge made with condensed milk is quite soft compared to traditional fudge. This means it should be kept in the refrigerator, if left at room temperature it will soften further.
  • You can store this lemon fudge in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  • You could also store it in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
