Fudge(Super)
Rich, fudgy chocolate treats with nuts, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and sharing at gatherings or as a homemade gift.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the chocolate chips and margarine in the microwave until melted.
- Beat the eggs and combine with sifted powdered sugar.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture to the eggs and sugar, then beat well.
- Stir in the nuts.
- Pour the mixture into an 8 x 8-inch pan and let it set.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra rich flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. If you're looking for a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts or replace them with a sprinkle of sea salt for added contrast. To prevent the fudge from sticking, line the pan with parchment paper before pouring in the mixture. This fudge is also perfect for gifting during the holidays.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small squares and serve it as a delightful dessert alongside a cup of coffee or hot cocoa. It pairs beautifully with American recipes like Apple Loaves or Spinach Cheesy for a sweet and savory treat. For a festive touch, consider drizzling melted chocolate on top or sprinkling with sea salt before it sets.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, place it in the refrigerator where it can last for up to two weeks. To reheat and soften, microwave in short intervals, about 10-15 seconds, until slightly warm but not melted, which makes it easier to cut into squares.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate for this fudge?
Absolutely! You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate for a sweeter taste or dark chocolate for a richer flavor. Just keep in mind that the sweetness level will change based on your choice of chocolate.
Is there a way to make this fudge without eggs?
Yes, you can replace the eggs with a flaxseed meal or applesauce to maintain moisture. For every egg, use 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water, or 1/4 cup of applesauce as a substitute.
How can I make my fudge more festive?
To add a festive flair, consider mixing in dried fruits, like cranberries or cherries, or adding a splash of peppermint extract for a holiday twist. Topping with crushed candy canes or sprinkles right before it sets can also enhance the visual appeal.
