Creating Flourless Chocolate Fudge is straightforward. Follow these steps to achieve the ultimate chocolate treat:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
3. Mix in Sugar: Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar until well combined and glossy.
4. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated.
5. Incorporate Vanilla and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until smooth.
6. Add Cocoa Powder: Gently fold in the cocoa powder until no lumps remain.
7. Optional Nuts: If using, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
8. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set, but the center is still slightly soft.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, lift it out using the parchment paper and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

This simple process will lead you to a rich and fudgy dessert that’s pure bliss.
