How to Make German Chocolate Fudge
Easy German Chocolate Fudge Recipe
Ingredients
FOR THE CHOCOLATE FUDGE:
- 1 package chocolate almond bark
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 can Eagle-brand milk
FOR THE TOPPING:
- 1 can Eagle-brand milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups coconut
- 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
- Break up the package of Chocolate Almond Bark (melting chocolate); it comes in a long piece of chocolate, with indentations of squares. Break it up where the squares are visible. You can pierce the chocolate where the indentations are with a knife for easier breaking or separating. Once the chocolate is broken up, place it in a microwave safe bowl with the butter, and Eagle-brand milk, and microwave on 20 second intervals for about 2 - 3 minutes, until the chocolate is completely melted, and you have stirred all ingredients together, The ingredients should be stirred until silky, smooth and shiny. Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of a 9 X 9 inch dish, and pour the Chocolate Fudge into the dish, and smooth out evenly with the back of spoon or spatula. Place dish in the refrigerator for one hour before adding the topping.
- When the chocolate fudge has set up, or is firm to the touch, make the topping. In a heavy saucepan, add the milk, sugar, butter, vanilla, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook over medium low to low heat for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, or until the mixture begins to thicken, resembling thick pudding. Remove from the heat, and stir in the coconut and pecans. Let cool for about 15 - 20 minutes, give it a good stir, then spread the warm topping on top of the chocolate fudge. Place the dish back in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to set, or overnight for best results.
- When fudge is completely set, cut in one inch squares and serve. Enjoy!
