I have a serious chocolate addiction. My kids know this. They hide their halloween chocolate bars from me every year. But luckily, they go to school during the day! But as I get older, I have moved on from the snickers bar and into seriously good chocolate – smooth, dark chocolate for instance.

And fudge. Yeah, I’m glad it’s “fudge season!”

My other obsession is all things pomegranate. My regular readers know this as I like to add pomegranate anywhere and everywhere! So this recipe I’m sharing combines my two food obsessions and it makes a decadent and dreamy pomegranate and condensed milk fudge.

Why this recipe is so awesome

Homemade fudge is always a crowd pleaser. It is also pretty easy to make. But, ssshhh! Your friends and family don’t need to know that!

I love giving fudge as small gifts because a little goes a long way. You can make a large batch, and give away little boxes with 4 pieces of pomegranate chocolate fudge and you will have some happy campers.

It makes a unique and delicious gift. This fudge is rich and chocolatey with a touch of fruitiness from the pomegranate.

• Pomegranate juice: You can either reduce down pomegranate juice to make a syrup or use pomegranate concentrate.
• Butter
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Dark chocolate chips: Choose a high quality chocolate to make fudge. You do not want your decadent fudge to taste sugary or gritty.
• Pistachios: I sprinkled chopped pistachios over the fudge. You can omit nuts altogether or add some chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds.

Step-by-step directions

1. To make your own pomegranate concentrate, add pomegranate juice in a small pot and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and cook until liquid is reduced to ⅓ cup. Remove from heat.

2. Place another small pot inside a larger pot filled partially with water to make a double boiler. In the top pot, add butter, sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Heat the pot over low heat to gently melt the chocolate, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

3. When the chocolate is completely melted, thick and smooth, stir in the pomegranate concentrate.

4. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with foil and lightly grease the foil. Pour chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish, gently tapping the dish to smooth out the fudge surface and to remove air bubbles. Sprinkle the top with chopped pistachios. Refrigerate fudge for at least 4 hours to set.

5. Lift the foil containing the fudge out of the pan and cut fudge into 1-inch pieces or desired other size. Dip your knife into a glass filled with hot water between slices if it is starting to stick to the fudge.
