• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

1. Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
3. Stir in the Irish cream liqueur and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Add the butter cubes to the mixture and stir until completely melted and incorporated.
5. In a separate bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the chocolate mixture, stirring continuously until smooth.
6. Fold in the chopped nuts, if desired, for added texture and flavor.
7. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
9. Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board. Peel off the parchment paper.
10. Cut the fudge into small squares or desired shapes using a sharp knife.
11. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
