Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat eggs in a mixing bowl.
- Add sugar, melted butter, melted chocolate, vanilla, and salt to the eggs.
- Beat well until smooth.

- Pour the batter into a greased shallow pan.
- Bake in a moderate oven for about 25 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of regular chocolate squares. You can substitute walnuts or pecans for nutmeats if desired. If you're looking for a lighter version, try reducing the sugar or using a sugar substitute. Also, ensure the butter is melted but not too hot, as this can cook the eggs when combined.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these fudge squares warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. They pair beautifully with coffee or a glass of milk. For added flair, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with caramel sauce. Consider serving with fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate them, where they can last for up to two weeks. If you want to reheat, place them in the microwave for a few seconds to soften before serving.
