Dulce de Leche Fudge

Creamy and rich, this Dulce de Leche Fudge is made with dark chocolate and dulce de leche. When it comes to indulgent flavors, there’s no better combination than chocolate and caramel.

This Dulce de Leche Fudge is a fantastic holiday dessert! Its rich and creamy deliciousness makes it hard to put down; you’ll never want to stop eating it. Whether it’s just for yourself or a gift for a loved one, this fudge always brings happiness and holiday cheer!

By some Christmas miracle, I have not gained 20 lbs from all the fudge-making I have been doing lately. This caramel is my favorite of the week – it’s made with Dulce de Leche, which is a rich, sweetened condensed milk that has a natural caramel flavor. It’s excellent for baking and candy-making…which is precisely what I used it for

The idea for this delicious Dulce de Leche Fudge occurred while grocery shopping in the baking aisle. After picking up some sweetened condensed milk for a poke cake, my eyes landed on the Dulce de Leche, and I knew I needed to make fudge with it. This recipe is so easy, and you can use any chocolate! I went with dark and semi-sweet because I love dark chocolate, but anything would work well. Make it your own!

Although the Dulce de Leche doesn’t have a prominent caramel flavor in this recipe, it does make the fudge richer and creamier. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you use dark chocolate, the Dulce de Leche will be more subdued.

So put on your yoga pants, make a big batch of this stuff, and eat to your heart’s content. Then make some extra for your best friend—she deserves it! Here’s to celebrating with oodles of delicious fudge!

How do you make Dulce de Leche Fudge?

Prepare an 8- or 9-inch square pan by spraying it with cooking oil and lining it with parchment paper extending over the pan’s edges.

Heat dulce de leche sweetened condensed milk, and chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over medium heat until completely melted, creamy, and smooth.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, cover it with foil, and let it cool.

Chill for 2 hours, then remove from the pan by lifting the parchment paper.

Cut into 20 squares and serve!

How do you store fudge?

After you’ve cut your fudge into squares, store it in an airtight container or wrap each piece in waxed paper and refrigerate.

How long does fudge last?

Fudge stored in an airtight container at room temperature lasts two weeks while keeping it in the fridge can extend its shelf-life to 3 or 4 weeks. If you plan on storing the fudge for an extended period, freezing it in an airtight container will preserve its quality for up to 3 months.
