Salted Dark Chocolate Toffee Fudge
Salted Dark Chocolate Toffee Fudge is velvety smooth dark chocolate fudge with crunchy toffee bits and flaky sea salt. It’s comes together in minutes with only 5 ingredients!
I have to confess something to you….I’ve never been a fudge person. Why? Because most of the time it’s too darn sweet.
Let’s face it, fudge is mostly loaded down with sugar from the sweetened condensed milk or whatever else has been added to sweeten it up. I decided to try to make a fudge that would appeal to me. One that would be deep, dark, and extra chocolatey, not as sweet, but still velvety.
I’m here to tell you that this fudge right here is my dream fudge. It’s perfect for me in every.single.way. 🙂
This fudge is so chocolatey without being overpoweringly sweet because I only used the daddy of all chocolate — dark chocolate.
Dark chocolate has no sugar added, which made it a no-brainer for me. The beautiful dark chocolate chips are melted into warm sweetened condensed milk, a pat of butter and a teaspoon of flaky sea salt.
The sea salt tones down the sweetness and amplifies the chocolate flavor as well. 🙂
Heath bars have always been one of my favorite candies, so this fudge is inspired by those flavors. It’s that sweet and salty combination that gets me every time!
This fudge is so addicting with that salted dark chocolate and crunchy toffee bits. So addicting that I had 3 little squares before I photographed them just to be sure I liked them.
I think the fact that I had 3 was my answer…or was it that I wanted more than that and had to put it away? Never mind that — all you need to know is that you too can have this addicting salted dark chocolate fudge that comes together in minutes with only 5 ingredients.
How can you say no to that? 🙂

I’m the same way – I like fudge but a lot of the time it’s just too sweet for me. But this … Marcie this sounds amazing!! With the toffee and sea salt… definitely making some this holiday season!
I’ve tried for years to like fudge because it’s so easy to make! The dark chocolate is definitely the secret for me…and the toffee and sea salt don’t hurt of course! 🙂
This recipe looks so delicious!
Thank you, Jocelyn! 🙂

Thank you, Matt! I’m thrilled that I finally found a fudge combination that I love, and it’s so easy to make! 🙂
Looks fabulous Marcie! What’s better than fudge in fall? Nothing! I’d love to have a plate of these! Pinned! xoxo
What’s best about this is how freaking easy it is…oh yeah, and how decadent and chocolatey it is, of course. 🙂 Thanks for the pin, Kristi, and happy Monday!
Thank you, Meghan! You just can’t beat the sweet & salty thang. 🙂
I feel the same as you about fudge, Marcie, but this sounds like the perfect solution! I wish I had a few squares right now to go with my cup of tea!
A couple of squares are the perfect little treat, and I speak from experience because I just had a couple for my afternoon pick-me-up! 🙂
I never really used to like fudge when I was younger, but now I can’t get enough of it! I love that you made a dark chocolate toffee kind, Marcie! Looks so rich and decadent. Perfect to give as gifts for the holidays!
It really is rich and decadent, and it totally satisfies my chocolate cravings in a BIG way…cuz my chocolate cravings are big, too! 🙂
I’m definitely making this fudge soon! Everyone loves fudge and the salted dark chocolate toffee flavor sounds perfect. I could probably eat the entire batch myself.
Thanks, Ashley! I’m having trouble keeping this around and think I’m taking some to the neighbors tomorrow. It’s dangerous! 🙂
Ooh, must try this! Fudge used to be my favorite thing, but as I’ve grown up a bit I find it a little too sweet most of the time. I’ll have to give this a try!
This fudge isn’t overly sweet at all, just nice and chocolatey. Hope you can give it a try, Karly! 🙂
I am a sucker for fudge but I totally agree, some fudges can be too sweet. I love that you used dark chocolate in here and it sounds amazing with the toffee and sea salt! I would definitely not be able to resist sneaking in a few squares of this at a time, it looks mouthwatering!:)
I snuck in a few squares today and it was the perfect thing to curb my chocolate craving without all the sweet! 🙂
I love toffee fudge and tho one looks thick, smooth and delicious! I must try it. It will make a great gift for the holidays! Beautiful pictures Marcie!
Thank you, Mira! I will definitely be making some to give away for the holidays — this was my test drive. 🙂
I’m with you, I’m not much of a huge fudge person either! It can be so sweet. So I am loving this salty and sweet fudge with toffee! Heath bars are one of my favorite candy bars too. Can’t wait to make this!
This fudge is perfectly chocolatey without being too sweet — my kind of fudge! Hope you get to try it, Natalie! 🙂
Hi Marcie, I’m a dark chocolate fiend, these look and sound delicious!
Sounds like this is the fudge for you, Cheri! Hope you get to try it soon! 🙂
Me too! Fudge is usually too sweet for me but I love this 🙂 Dark chocolate and toffee yummmm!
This was just right for me…just right!
One christmas I made 5 batches of fudge to send to my family and I had a ton leftover that I ate and ate and ate. Fudge really can be so sweet sometimes and I couldn’t eat fudge for a while after that! Salted dark chocolate and toffee are two of my favorite sweets and I love that you combined them into this awesome fudge!
Normally one piece of fudge does me in — it’s so sweet! This fudge is different — I can eat two little squares without it feeling like a sugar fest. haha Not too sweet, and oh so chocolatey. 🙂
I’m impressed that y0u only had 3 before photographing them. I don’t think I would have had that much restraint!
3 was good! haha Honestly, 2 is a great place to stop, and now I need to give the rest away! 🙂
I love the dark chocolate…and the toffee!! I agree, fudge is normally teeth hurting sweet, lol. This fudge looks perfectly delicious. 🙂
I like your description of “teeth hurting sweet” — you’re so right. This fudge isn’t like that at all — all that dark chocolate takes over making this more chocolatey than sweet. My kind of fudge! 🙂
I’m not much of a fudge-kinda girl either because like you said, it is REALLY sweet. I think I could definitely get on board with this stuff though! I love that it’s salted and all that toffee is screaming my name! Pinned. 🙂
This is more chocolatey than sweet, and everything is better with toffee! Hope you give it a try, Sarah! 🙂
What an amazing fudge .. love dark chocolate.. one of my favorite treats:)
Thank you, Ella! 🙂
I love fudge. This looks great Marcie.
Thank you, Kathy! 🙂
What a goodness I want a piece.
Thank you, Vanessa!
I have a huge sweet tooth so I’m all about fudge. But a less sweet fudge made with dark chocolate sounds like a welcome change. Love the little bits of toffee. Bet it would taste amazing with a cup of coffee.
This may not be sweet enough for you, Christin, however, it would be great with coffee! lol 🙂
And I’ve always loved brownies so much more than fudge! But now, things may have changed, because I can get deep, dark chocolate flavor now without making a pan of brownies! Life changing. 🙂 Thanks for the pin, Lindsey! 🙂
this is perfect for holidays! I love dark chocolate so I know I will love this! Yum!
I definitely plan to make more of this for the holidays as gifts, and just to eat of course! 🙂
Love this! So great to make as a little gift for the holidays… and I love salted anything!
It doesn’t get much easier than this! 🙂
Looks like the perfect fudge to me Marcie! So easy too!
Thank you, Trish! 🙂
Thanks for the pin, my friend! This fudge has been taking care of my chocolate cravings in a BIG way. 🙂
where do you purchase the crunchy toffee? is there a brand u recommend?
Hello! I used Heath brand toffee bits, which can be found in the baking isle with the chocolate chips.
thank you!! i cant wait to try this recipe. and your sweet persimmon bar recipe looks amazing too!
you’re welcome! 🙂
I think we have the same taste buds! I love the salty sweet thing more than I can say. 🙂
This was dangerous stuff to have around — I love salted chocolate! Thanks, Julie!
I am such a sucker for fudge. This looks fantastic.
Thanks, Rachael! I can never turn down dark chocolate. 🙂
Hi Marcie..
What are toffee bits?? I will have to look for them.. Any substitute or other name of the same??
Hi Megan! Heath toffee bits are found in the baking isle next to the chocolate chips. There really isn’t a good substitute but you could certainly omit them.
Thanks so much! I’ve never used milk chocolate chips because I prefer dark chocolate. I’m sure it would work, it will just be sweeter!
This fudge sounds yummy!
I’m going to make it today, however I was wondering if I can use regular sea salt I couldn’t find the flakes at my local store.
You sure can! Just don’t use as much sea salt as it is much smaller in size. Enjoy!
