Chocolate Fudge Gelt

5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

More delicious than store-bought gelt, and an easy crowdpleaser.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 16-30 pieces, depending on size

Ingredients

  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Even if the chocolate chips don’t appear melted, they might combine beautifully. If more time is required, continue heating in the microwave in increments of 10 seconds.
  2. Spread into a baking tray that has been sprayed with oil or lined with parchment or waxed paper.
  3. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. If you want the gelt to look like coins, you can cut your fudge into circles using a small, round cookie-cutter and then wrap individually in aluminium foil. But if you are not committed to the money connection or just don’t have the time — as I often don’t — you can just slice them into rectangles. 

Notes

Make sure to store your gelt in an airtight in the refrigerator because it becomes a bit soft at room temperature.
