So pretty! Nutella makes me happy.
nutella and sea salt fudge?!? this is trouble 🙂
You know I’m a fudge fan, this one may pull me from my old family stand-by!
OMG, I want to make this..like now. But I’m at work, so I can’t :).
I actually made this fudge this past weekend! Julie @ Savvy Eats did a run down of a bunch of holiday cookies and treats and this one caught my eye. It’s all boxed up in tins for gifts, but I definitely tasted a square (or three) before wrapping it up. Delicious!
I could lick that salt for like…ever.
This fudge looks PERFECT!!! Seriously amazing.
And I had the pleasure of meeting Dara recently…she is a doll. So so so sweet!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing something so easy to make for the holidays. As much as I would love to make the more complex sweets, I just don’t have the free time to do it this year!!
This is awesome (not to mention sounding divine). I will definitely be making it for Christmas.
These look easy to make and are adorable. Perfect for the holidays. Gorgeous photo!!!
Gorgeous fudge and I agree… I love talking about cookies! 🙂
LOVE…going to check it out right now!
These look wonderful. Love the sprinkling of sea salt!
Can’t wait to try this out (so happy for the two-pack jars of Nutella I bought way back in October)!
I want these at my Christmas. Love.
I’ve always loved chocolate, especially dark chocolate. Recently I discovered these dark chocolate caramels with sea salt and they are to die for so this recipe is really interesting to me.
sea salt and chocolate– a match made in heaven, and a combo I can never resist! I’ve got to make some of this ASAP!
I know what you mean i made these before – awesome. This year i went for the Rugelach!!
Beautiful. The sea salt sends this over the top. Love it!
The sea salt makes this extra special!
Nutella and Fudge….pass me the plate! Love the sea salt on top!
Oh! We are cleaning out our pantry, getting ready for our big move and I really wish I would’ve seen this before I used up all of my Nutella the other day! It’s almost worth going out and getting some more, but I’ll have to wait until our boxes are unloaded. I’ll just start at your delicious photos in the mean time… 🙂
You are my hero of the day. What a brilliant idea!
oooh! this look so delicious and indulgent!
I did hear angels sing! I haven’t finished my holiday baking yet! I still have black forest cookies and toffee on my list. I really would love to make some gingerbread caramels or peanut butter fudge but think I’ll run out of time. And wow! Nutella is the best-I can only imagine how awesome this is!
I love Nutella !!!
That fudge looks heavenly.
This fudge looks like the perfect holiday gift. I wish a box waited by my doorsteps!
I am officially in love. Do I dare risk bringing nutella into my apartment for this? I think I have to.
I am completely obsessed with Nutella – this is amazing. I can’t believe how easy it is either!
Saw this and made it in the microwave. Turned out perfect! Wish I had extra to eat myself, but alas, I need gifts for my coworkers!
Oh my word, I need this fudge!! I may just have added a new treat to my holiday baskets 🙂
sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. And this is one of those, “why didn’t I think of that?” genius moments!
PS…I agree, no better topic than cookies!
Nutella and fudge….say no more! I’m already in love.
I don’t even know where to begin. I LOVE everything about this fudge. And you. And Dara. 🙂
This is on my list to make today for a sweets plate 🙂
How do you get the fudge to cut so cleanly and look so perfect? Mine always ends up looking like I spooned it out of the pan…
I saw this and had to go out and buy Nutella last night to make it! It was so easy to make! I tried a scrap this morning while cutting it to give as gifts and it was delicious! Thank you!
Oh yum, girl! Nutella and sea salt, this sounds fabulous!! Miss you!! Can’t wait to see you soon I hope!! 🙂
THIS LOOKS AMAZING!
Yummy! So many delicious goodies!
I really like all of your goodies!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the fudge, Maria. We have a batch sitting in our fridge right now and it is VERY difficult not to dive in every time I pass by. Thanks so much for your kind words.
I LOVE Nutella! So this recipe would find room in my stomach and I am sure that I would love it.
LOVE the pieces of salt on this. Salt and Sweet is the best.
I’ve run out of all my holiday treats and yet still have more gift bags to fill. I pooped. I love how delicious and easy these are. Thanks for saving me Maria. And very Merry 1st Christmas with Baby!!!
THANK YOU, Maria!!!! I made these yesterday, especially for our big family christmas lunch on the 25th (in Denmark we celebrate Christmas Eve with a traditional dinner and presents in the evening on the 24th). I am sure all my sweets-loving family members will go crazy over them 🙂 I love them, SO tasty!
Have the most magical and wonderful Christmas, you 3 darlings.
Love, (another) Maria 😀
Sounds wonderful!! I love the salty+sweet combo.
I don’t know how I missed this! I will definitely be going to check out the recipe 🙂
i’m dying over here, this combo is AMAZING! I want, I want, I want!
This looks dangerously delicious! I have recently been putting sea salt on any baked good/candy I make with fantastic results. It really does jazz up the flavor and add a nice contrast to any sweet.
I have never been a huge fan of fudge. For some reason, I find it far too rich. But I’m thinking that adding sea salt will make it irresistible for me! Thanks for another fantastic recipe. 🙂
Yeah, I totally ate too many sweets yesterday, but I think I could make up a batch of this right now and be happy!
I made this last night and ZOMG! It is delicious! I was wary of the sea salt, but should have trusted you. It tastes amazing! Thank-you!
I made this for my husband as a Christmas present and it was perfect! His favorite thing is Nutella and whenever I bake with it, he whines that I wasted his Nutella because nothing is as good as “pure” Nutella. He said that this was *almost* as good as pure Nutella and that I should tell you that. 🙂 Now I’m a normal person who isn’t obsessed with plain Nutella and my opinion is that this is WAY better than plain old Nutella. Thank you so much!
I made this without the sea salt and I have never had fudge that was a creamy as this was. Not to mention the taste was devine. Some people said it was to sweet but I think it was just right.
