Ingredients
Instructions
- In the top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips.
- Remove from heat; add the Eagle Brand milk, vanilla, salt, and chopped nuts.

- Pour the mixture into a wax paper-lined 8-inch square pan.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using a combination of dark and milk chocolate chips. If you want to reduce calories further, you can experiment with sugar-free chocolate chips. Ensure the Eagle Brand milk is well-blended for the best consistency. Adding a pinch of cinnamon can enhance the flavor profile, making it reminiscent of flavors found in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the fudge into small cubes and serve as a sweet treat alongside a cup of coffee or tea. It pairs beautifully with Hot Cocoa Cake for a delightful dessert spread. Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of sea salt or serving with fresh berries for a refreshing contrast. Perfect for holiday gatherings or as a snack anytime.
Storage & Reheating
Store the sugarless fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate it, which can help it maintain its firmness. When ready to eat, there's no need to reheat; enjoy it cold or allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes for a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of Eagle Brand?
While Eagle Brand milk provides a unique sweetness and creaminess, you can substitute it with evaporated milk or a dairy-free alternative like coconut milk. If using a non-sweetened version, consider adding a natural sweetener to achieve similar results.
How can I make this fudge more festive for holidays?
To make your sugarless fudge more festive, consider adding crushed peppermint candies or a swirl of melted white chocolate on top. You could also sprinkle some colored sugar or holiday-themed sprinkles before chilling for visual appeal.
Is there a way to make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can make this fudge vegan by using dairy-free chocolate chips and a plant-based sweetened condensed milk alternative. Look for brands that offer coconut or almond milk-based options to achieve a similar texture and flavor while keeping it completely vegan.
