Step 4: Fold in Nuts
Gently fold in the chopped nuts, ensuring even distribution without breaking them too much. This adds a delightful crunch to every bite.
Step 5: Pour into Pan
Transfer the chocolate-nut mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for an even layer. At this stage, you can sprinkle optional toppings like sea salt or extra nuts for presentation and flavor.
Step 6: Chill Until Firm
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut. Patience is key—rushing this step can make cutting messy.
Step 7: Cut into Bites
Using a sharp knife, cut the fudge into small squares or rectangles, about 1-inch each. For perfectly clean edges, warm the knife slightly by running it under hot water and drying it before slicing.
Step 8: Serve or Store
Arrange your Decadent Nutty Chocolate Fudge Bites on a plate or in mini cupcake liners for an elegant presentation. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips for Extra Decadence
