I thought it was time to share another super easy Fudge Recipe with you guys for our Christmas Baking Frenzy. This simple Chocolate Walnut Fudge is loaded with walnut pieces and topped with Christmas sprinkles which makes it a festive addition to your holiday trays. Like the Chocolate Caramel Turtle Fudge we shared the other week, this one comes together in minutes and takes just a couple of ingredients. It is so easy to make that you can do a double batch in under 15 minutes (yes!).
I seriously just love a good fudge! It is not only great on your cookie trays, but awesome to package as a gift on its own as well (teachers gifts done!)...I mean who wouldn't love to get a box of this Chocolate Walnut Fudge? I dare you not to lick the bowl before pouring this delicious fudge into your pan!

These look so yummy! I wonder if there's a way to make them dairy-free?
Thanks Jenna!!! It is hard with fudge as you need the sweetness and consistency from the condensed milk, maybe coconut milk (since it is lactose free) would be a good alternative? I would be interested to see the result!
Ohh, coconut milk might work!? I should experiment 🙂
I think I'll pass on the walnuts, otherwise this sounds amazing, gonna try it with my kiddo! Thanks!
Thanks Heather, the AWESOME thing about this fudge is that you can really use ANY nut you prefer, making it simple and easy for all tastes!
This is something I can handle making-yay! And I know this would be a hit in our house!
It is so easy, even a beginner can make this fudge <3 I hope you enjoy it!
I love a good Christmas recipe especially if it has anything to do with chocolate. Thanks for sharing.
I am with you on that Shelley!! We looooove chocolate in our house! Enjoy
Oh my word. I am such a sucker for fudge it's not even funny, and these look so delicious and easy to make! Thanks for the inspiration!
Us too Natalie!!! This one is SUPER easy to make and will be gone just as quickly 😛 Better make a double batch!
These look delicious! The perfect holiday dessert!
Yum! Such a perfect Christmas treat, Melissa. My mouth is watering right now. Can I use some other kind of milk, such a coconut milk?
Thank you so much!!! I was actually talking with another reader last week about the option of a dairy free milk. I suggested coconut milk but I have not tried it myself (it is on my list for the next one!). I would think with the consistency of the coconut milk that it should be okay, though you may need some coconut oil as well to help thicken it!
How many ML is the can of condensed milk?
Hi Beki, sorry for the delay! The can we use is 300ml. Let me know what you think of the fudge once you make it!
