Nutella Sea Salt Fudge
This luscious and rich Nutella sea salt fudge is so easy to make, and has an incredibly delicious combination of flavors!
I know Nutella can be a little polarizing (people either seem to love it or hate it!) but I am firmly on team Nutella. We buy big Costco-sized containers of it frequently, and everyone in my family loves it! My girls make Nutella toast in the morning, I use it for all sorts of baking recipes, and we all tend to just sneak the occasional spoonful when no one is looking. 🙂 It is so good! One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is in this Nutella sea salt fudge!
I made this fudge for the first time ages ago, before I ever thought of blogging as a job. At the time, I was a stay at home mom with two very little kids, just posting sporadically about the different things I cooked, and our finances were very tight. I made the fudge to give as a birthday gift to several of my husband’s family members. If I recall correctly (it has been ten years, after all) it was a big hit! I’ve made it several times since then, but it has been a couple of years now since the last time, and I had forgotten both how easy it is to make and how totally delicious it is!
The Nutella adds a great flavor to the fudge, but it isn’t overpowering. The combination of Nutella and sea salt is totally delicious! I used my favorite flaky Maldon salt (which I like so much that I could almost eat it plain) and it added the perfect finishing touch. I’ve made this fudge with different types of chocolate over the years, and honestly I haven’t noticed much of a difference when I use a more expensive chocolate versus just using chocolate chips. This time I used Guittard dark chocolate discs because I just happened to have exactly 8 ounces of them in the cupboard, but I’ve used regular old Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips plenty of times, and the’ve worked great!
This fudge will keep for a couple of weeks if stored in the fridge in in airtight container. The recipe makes a bunch, so it’s great for gifting (or just enjoying whenever you need a little chocolate boost). If you love Nutella as much as I do, this fudge is a must-make!
