Malted Milk Chocolate & Walnut Fudge
This Malted Milk Chocolate & Walnut Fudge has rich milk chocolate, marshmallows, crunchy walnuts and a little malty flavor that adds something a little extra to this fudge recipe.
The holidays always call for fudge! Don’t you agree? The thing that I love most about fudge too is that everyone makes it differently. Whether it’s a classic chocolate and nut combination or loaded with goodies I have to admit that I haven’t ever met a piece of fudge that I did not like.
Another great thing about fudge, it’s SO EASY TO MAKE!
The inspiration for this fudge recipe comes from my love of malted milk powder. It is something I always have on hand. It’s so good in plain or chocolate milk, shakes, even morning oatmeal.
Then I added marshmallows thinking of the hot chocolate that we make while it’s cold outside. Finally, add the nuts for a crunchy texture.
How to make Malted Milk Chocolate & Walnut Fudge:
In a microwave proof bowl add the milk chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
Microwave the mixture in 45-second intervals, stirring in between to combine the ingredients. It should take about 4-5 rounds until everything is well combined.
To the bowl add the marshmallows, walnuts and malted milk powder. Stir to mix everything together.
In an 8″x8″x pan add non-stick tin foil. Lightly grease the tin foil then add the fudge mixture to the pan.
Put the fudge into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Make sure the fudge has set before trying to cut.
Cut into 25 pieces and serve.
Tips for making Malted Milk Chocolate & Walnut Fudge:
- Since the chocolate mixture is hot the marshmallows will melt some.
- Store any leftover fudge in a container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
And here you are…..

Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake
A few ingredients come together to make this classic Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake recipe. This cake comes out of the oven with a crispy top and a gooey, fudgy center with chocolate in every bite. Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake is the perfect dessert for a dinner party or the holidays.
Welcome to Choctoberfest 2018! This is a wonderful time of year. Over 100 bloggers are in our kitchens and churning out the best chocolate recipes to get you through October and the holidays. Past Choctoberfest’s have produced some of my most inspired recipes like Homemade Chocolate Pudding and Cracker Candy. This year I decided to use this as an opportunity to make a recipe I’ve had on my list for a while, Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake (Kladdkaka).
*Affiliate links are included in this post. Please read my Discloser Policy. I received Barlean’s Butter Flavored Coconut Oil complimentary but all opinions stated in this post are my own. For more information about Barlean’s visit their About page.
I was SO EXCITED to see that Barlean’s was a partner again this year. They are such a great supporter of food bloggers and have participated not only in Choctoberfest but Cookout Week as well. I made a wonderful Margarita Pie with a pretzel crust with Barleans’s instead of butter and it turned out great.
Why swap out butter for butter flavored coconut oil?
- It’s a simple 1 for 1 swap. Use butter flavored coconut oil in cookies, brownies or most anywhere that butter is called for in recipes.
- Unlike regular coconut oil, you almost completely miss the coconut taste.
- It’s not just for baking! Butter flavored coconut oil works great in sautees, sauces, and light frying as well.
I’ve had this cake on my mind for the past year or so. While I’ve been sharing more recipes from Michigan and my family, I have been wanting to delve a little deeper into recipes from my heritage as well. My dad’s family is from Sweden and my husband’s family is Norwegian so you might be seeing more and more of these recipes on the blog soon. Until then, let’s get on to this delicious chocolate cake recipe.
How to make Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
In a medium-sized bowl whisk 2 eggs.
Slowly whisk the sugar in with the eggs.
Add a mesh strainer to the top of the bowl. Pour in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Lift up the strainer and gently shake all the ingredients into the bowl.
Pour in the vanilla.
Next, melt the Barlean’s Butter Flavored Coconut Oil then add pour it into the flour/cocoa mixture. Whisk to combine.
Cover the bottom of an 8″ spring-form pan with parchment/baking paper. Grease the sides so they release easily. Add the batter to the pan. Bake for 25-28 minutes.
Remove the sides of the pan then let cool. then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Tips & Variations for Swedish Sticky Cake:
- Don’t have butter flavored coconut oil on hand? Swap out 1:1 for unsalted butter. If you only have salted butter omit the salt.
- No springform pan? That’s fine, just use a regular pie plate that is well oiled.
- Make it even better served with fresh fruit or fruit sauce.
And here you are….

Death By Dark Chocolate Donuts
Do you love the Halloween season? I sure do. I think it is hard when you live in Southwest Michigan (or Michigan in general) like I do not to be inspired by the falling leaves, spooky woods, potentially haunted cemeteries, one of the best Haunted Attractions nationwide and Apple Orchards with Corn Mazes galore! Just step outside and you will get all the festive ‘feels’ you can handle. So let’s add to the excitement with some ‘Death By Dark Chocolate Donuts’ why don’t we? Dark chocolate in the batter. Dark chocolate on top. Dark chocolate everywhere! These dark donuts are perfect for your Halloween breakfast table.
While your here why don’t you Celebrate #Choctoberfest with us? Tons of chocolate recipes from awesome bloggers…oh and there’s a Giveaway! Visit here for all the info.
In a bowl add the base of your donut which is everything but the 2 Tbs milk, chocolate chips and butter. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave with 2 Tbs milk for around 4o seconds. Melt the butter. Add to the donut base. Stir to combine completely.
Grease a donut pan (I only have 1 but this makes 12 donuts so depending on your donut pan situation you may have to do these in 2 batches like me). Fill the donut wells about 1/2 way. Then put these into the over for 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Once baked take out of the oven and place on wax paper or tinfoil to cool.
Now time for the frosting! I went through several frosting recipes but I decided that I would keep it simple and I felt like it paid off. Melt dark chocolate chips with milk for 40 seconds. Stir to combine. The only side note I would say is let the frosting cool then put into the refrigerator in a covered container.
Dip the top of the donuts into the delicious topping. Set back on tinfoil to let the frosting completely cool. And here you are…..
