A chocolate covered pretzel fudge is a ceramic chocolate fudge filled with a salty pretzel and sticky marshmallows.
If you’ve ever found yourself coming back for another (and another and another) chocolate-covered pretzel from the bag in the closet, this fudge is going to shake your holiday gift baskets.
This fudge tastes like my favorite chocolate covered pretzel met their perfect match in a marshmallow stuffed fudge.
This fudge of the pretzel is so irresistible that I sent it to the office with my husband almost as soon as I cut it.
I’m not usually a big fan of white chocolate, but is it? I could snack on this salty-sweet treat all day.
If by chance you are not a fan of white chocolate, this fudge works beautifully (and equally deliciously) when made with semi-sweet or bitter chocolate.
As you can see from the pictures, we happily enjoy this fudge with both types of chocolate.
Please note: this recipe is binding Sweetened condensed milk, No steaming milk, no heavy cream, no half and half, nothing else will work. Believe me in this matter.
The sweetened condensed milk contains sugar which is essential for the taste, texture and consistency of this recipe.
Even if you managed to join something else in other recipes, I promise you should use sweetened condensed milk for this fudge recipe!
Yes, you can make this fudge on the stove. Keep low heat and use the double boiler method. The microwave melting method makes this recipe extremely quick and easy. However, if by chance you are not a microwave lover (or do not have one), you can easily melt the chocolate, milk and butter in a double boiler on the stove. It will only take a few more minutes.
Yes, you can freeze fudge. Wrap it tightly in parchment paper (cut or not cut) and then slide it into a closed freezer bag. Squeeze the air out of the bag and freeze flat.
Yes, nuts can be added to almost any fudge recipe. No other adjustments will be required.
No, you can not do it without regular sweetened condensed milk. Nothing else will work. The sweetened condensed milk contains sugar which is essential for the taste, texture and consistency of this recipe.
For more quick and easy fudge recipes, try a classic chocolate pecan fudge, a bucky fudge or a white chocolate caramel fudge.
Some of the new ones on my list to try are Salted caramel mocha fudge, Light ginger fudge, And Hot chocolate fudge. I do not think I can ever get too many great fudge recipes for the holidays.
