Sea Salt Chocolate Fudge
I was in the mood for some chocolate. The holidays are also coming, and on December 6th, my family celebrates Saint Nicholas, a lovely holiday that marks the beginning of the holiday.
Who is Saint Nicholas?
According to Wikipedia, Saint Nicholas Day, also called the Feast of Saint Nicholas, is observed on December 6th in Western Christian countries and on December 19th in Eastern Christian countries that use the old church Calendar.
It is the feast day of Nicholas of Myra, with particular regard to his reputation as a bringer of gifts.
Each country in Europe celebrates this day differently. In my part of the world, in Eastern Europe, on the night of December 6th, children put their cleaned, shiny shoes or a special Saint Nicholas boot in front of the fireplace, or the front door at night, to find them filled with small presents the following day.
Like many European children, I grew up with this tradition and passed it on to my daughter. We also keep the tradition in the house, even if my daughter is a grown-up now and does not live with us anymore.
My husband and I must be really good, as Saint Nicholas still stops at our house every December and leaves small gifts in our boots.
I love the atmosphere and the emotion of waking up in the morning and finding something in the boots.
It is usually a new pair of socks, bananas, oranges, candy, small toys, sometimes clothes or small jewelry, or a lottery ticket.
We try to keep it fun, simple, and not very expensive.
This is also the time when small gifts like chocolate fudge are welcomed on St. Nicholas Day. A potluck or visit to your parents or friends is also an excellent opportunity to bring fudge as a gift.
Getting back to my recipe, I told you I was in the mood for some chocolate because it is that time of the year when we indulge more in all kinds of sweets.
I decided to make the easiest recipe ever, so easy that even a child can make it.
I should be ashamed for posting such an easy one, but my entire blog is packed with easy recipes for everyone to try, so why not a fudge recipe? And it’s not even Christmas yet.
I never understood why people make fudge only for Christmas, at least in this part of the world where I live. It is easy to make, delicious, and can be served anytime.
So, have you ever tried the sea salt chocolate fudge before? If yes, you know how good it is. If not, you have to try it. Period. There is no way around it.
My recipe uses coarse sea salt, and I have this bag of sea salt in the cupboard that is a little bit smoked (the salt, not the bag, lol). I had to try it on the fudge.
My husband came from work today, and I told him: “There is semi-sweet chocolate sea salt fudge in the fridge if you want.” He shows up with a little plate full of little pieces of fudge, sits down on the couch, takes a bite, and closes his eyes, saying: ” Damn, this is good! “
Do I need to tell you more? Just go to your pantry and grab that can of condensed milk that you never know what to do with some chocolate. The better your chocolate’s quality, the better your fudge taste, right?
Have some butter? You need just four tablespoons. Oh, and some vanilla extract and some coarse salt? Good, now you have everything you need. Let’s get in the kitchen and make it together.
