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? 🙂
