Easy Salted Pretzel Chocolate Fudge Recipes

CHOCOLATE PRETZEL FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square baking pan with lightly greased parchment paper or non-stick foil and set aside.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, place the chocolate chips. Microwave at 70 percent power for 90 seconds. Stir, using the residual heat to fully melt the chocolate until smooth. If needed, microwave at 30 second, then 15 second intervals additionally.
• Stir the sweetened condensed milk into the chocolate until the mixture is very smooth.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Top with pretzels. You should fit 4 to 5 pretzels across and 5 pretzels down for an 8-inch pan.
• Sprinkle the fudge with 2 to 3 pinches of coarse sea salt.
• Chill the fudge in the refrigerator until well set, about 2 hours.
• Cut into squares so one whole pretzel is on each square of fudge.

EASY CHOCOLATE FUDGE WITH PRETZELS

Steps:

• Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
• Place butter, chocolate chips, condensed milk, vanilla, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until chocolate just melts and mixture is combined and warm but not hot, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups pretzels. Transfer mixture to pan and smooth top; press 1/2 cup pretzels on top. Refrigerate until set, 2 hours (or up to overnight, wrapped). Using parchment, lift fudge from pan and cut into 36 squares.

SWEET AND SALTY FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
• In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread to even out the surface. Top with spoonfuls of the peanut butter. Using a skewer or butter knife, swirl the peanut butter into the chocolate mixture. Sprinkle over the crushed chips and pretzels. Let the fudge cool for 30 minutes on the counter, then lightly cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Lift the foil out of the pan and peel it from the fudge. Cut into small squares to serve.
