The Method

1
Prepare your pan: Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2
Combine ingredients: In a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water), combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and salt.
3
Melt and stir: Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4
Add flavor: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and chopped walnuts.
5
Pour and chill: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
6
Refrigerate: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
7
Cut and serve: Once the fudge is firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan. Cut into small squares and serve.

Chef's Tips

For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.

Toast the walnuts before adding them to the fudge for a nuttier flavor.

Don't overheat the chocolate; it can seize and become grainy.

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
