Mexican Chocolate Fudge image

I suddenly came up with this idea and thought, "of course someone did this already!" it makes too much sense. i searched and search but no luck. so i took a chance, really it was a no-brainer, and it came out great!

Time 7m

Yield 40 pieces, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 round brick of mexican hot cocoa (abuelita or ybarra)
1/2-1 cup of chopped pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • first line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and chop the pecans if you are using them.
  • then crush the chocolate brick. you can use a blender or food processor. i simply put mine into a sandwich bag and gave a whack at it. i had some frustration built up, lol!
  • after it's crushed, in a medium, glass, microwave safe bowl, add all the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. microwave for 1 minute then stir.
  • microwave again for 30 secs or 1 more minute (depending on the temp of your micro) and then stir.
  • add in the pecans and vanilla at this point and give it another good stir. if your chocolate is too thick, use a tablespoon of milk to smooth it out. it will seem grainy but the 2 chocolates will marry as it rests.
  • pour mixture into the pan and set in the fridge for about an hour, give or take.
  • when it has become more firm and sliceable, cut into 1 inch pieces. enjoy!
