Bittersweet Chocolate And Walnut Fudge Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray, and line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides. Spray parchment.
• Pulse wafers in a food processor until finely ground, and transfer to a bowl. Add sugar and a pinch of table salt. Melt 6 tablespoons butter, and stir into crumbs. Press into bottom of dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
• Heat chocolate, condensed milk, whole milk, remaining 4 tablespoons butter, and a pinch of table salt in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring, until melted. Stir in vanilla.
• Pour chocolate mixture over baked cookie layer, smoothing top with an offset spatula. Sprinkle walnuts and coarse salt over top, pressing slightly to adhere. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
• Remove fudge from dish using parchment to lift, and transfer to a cutting board; remove parchment. Trim edges of fudge with a sharp knife, and cut crosswise into six 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into 3 equal bars, then cut each bar in half on the diagonal to form 36 triangles.

Steps:

• Butter an 8x8 inch dish.
• Place butter, chocolate chips and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, milk and marshmallows. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to low and cook 6 minutes more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
• Pour marshmallow mixture over contents of mixing bowl. Beat entire mixture until it thickens and loses its gloss. Quickly fold in nuts and pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate several hours until firm.

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil. Melt the butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the condensed milk and stir constantly until the mixture bubbles gently at the edges, about 3 minutes. Mix in the walnuts, vanilla and salt. Stir in the chocolate and stir gently, just until the chocolate melts. Drizzle the cream over the surface of the fudge and stir vigorously just until the fudge is smooth and glossy, but not oily. (If the mixture separates and becomes oily, transfer the fudge to the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer and beat until blended.) Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours. Using the foil as a guide, remove the fudge from the pan. Cut the fudge evenly into 48 squares. (Fudge can be made ahead and refrigerated up to two weeks ahead.)
