Coal Fudge

A playful holiday treat that resembles coal but tastes like rich chocolate fudge. Perfect for stockings and dessert trays.

  • Total Time: 120 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (sifted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • Black gel food coloring (start with 1 or 2 tiny drops)
  • 8 inch square pan (parchment lined)

Instructions

  3. Add black gel food coloring and mix until the desired color is achieved.
