Chocolate Pretzel Fudge Food

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.

CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZEL FUDGE

Steps:

• Combine the chocolate chips, the milk, and the butter in a medium size glass bowl and heat in the microwave for 90 seconds. Stir to combine and heat another 15 seconds. Stir and heat an additional 15 seconds, only if needed. There will still be a few pieces of unmelted chocolate in the bowl.
• Stir until mostly smooth with just a few flecks of unmelted chocolate. Add the extract, pretzels, and marshmallows to the bowl. Stir to combine. Scoop into a parchment lined loaf pan. Spread with a spatula. Chill until ready to serve.
• Slice into 1-inch squares and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

EASY SALTED PRETZEL CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Steps:

• Line a 20cmx20cm dish with parchment/baking paper. (Any size from around 20-25cm would work, your fudge will just be slightly thinner.)
• Melt together the milk chocolate, condensed milk and butter over low heat.
• Sift together the icing sugar and cocoa powder.
• When the chocolate mixture is smooth, beat in the icing sugar mix until you have a smooth, thick dough-like mixture.
• Transfer to the prepared dish and smooth the top. Press the pretzels into the fudge and sprinkle with salt (if using).
• Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set before slicing into squares.
• Place in a airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to a week.

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.
