Hi, I am Gretchen Siegchist for About.com Food, and I am going to share an easy recipe for chocolate fudge. This is a sweet and delicious candy that is easy to make at home.

Ingredients for Chocolate Fudge

For this recipe you will need:
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine the Ingredients

Begin by greasing a small baking pan. Combine the cream and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan and bring them to a boil. Let these ingredients boil for one minute.

Turn the heat down to low and add the chocolate chips. Stir this mixture constantly until the chocolate is totally melted.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the powdered sugar, nuts, and vanilla. Stir everything together until it is smooth.

Serve the Chocolate Fudge

Pour the mixture into a baking pan, then cover it and place it in the refrigerator until it gets firm. Now you can cut the fudge into small pieces and enjoy.
