Becky'S Fudge
A rich, crunchy fudge combining chocolate, butterscotch, Chinese noodles, and walnuts for a sweet treat perfect for sharing at gatherings or as a snack.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate bits and butterscotch bits in the top of a double boiler.
- Add the Chinese noodles and walnuts (if using) to the melted mixture and stir well.
- Pour the mixture into an 8-inch lightly buttered pan and spread evenly.
- Let cool completely, then cut into squares and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using a mix of milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate bits. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts or substitute with sunflower seeds for added crunch. Ensure the double boiler doesn’t touch the water to prevent overheating the chocolate. Stir constantly while melting to avoid burning.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into squares for easy serving, and consider pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. It also makes a great gift when wrapped nicely. For a festive touch, serve alongside Frozanne Frosting for a chocolatey treat that feels special.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer longer storage, refrigerate it for up to two weeks. To reheat, place in the microwave for a few seconds or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate bits?
Absolutely! You can experiment with dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even flavored chocolate bits to create unique variations. Just keep the total amount of chocolate bits the same to ensure the right consistency in the fudge.

If you can't find Chinese noodles, you can use pretzel sticks or even crushed graham crackers for a different texture. Both alternatives will provide a unique twist to the fudge while maintaining its crunchy element.
Is this fudge suitable for dietary restrictions?
This fudge can easily be made gluten-free by choosing gluten-free chocolate bits and noodles. To make it vegan, opt for dairy-free chocolate options and eliminate the walnuts if you're concerned about cross-contamination.
