No-Bake Condensed Milk Chocolate Walnut Treats

Table of Contents

- Condensed Milk: 380 g (about 1 ½ cups)
- Walnuts: 100 g (about 1 cup), chopped

- Chocolate: 100 g (about 3.5 oz), for melting
- Vegetable Oil: 20 ml (about 1.5 tbsp), for mixing
- Additional Walnuts: 20 g (for topping or garnish, optional)

Chop the Walnuts: Start by roughly chopping the walnuts into smaller pieces. This will help distribute them evenly throughout the treats and provide a nice crunch.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, break the chocolate into small pieces. Add the 20 ml of vegetable oil to the chocolate (this helps the chocolate to melt smoothly) and microwave in short bursts of 15-20 seconds, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.

1. Mix the Condensed Milk: In a large mixing bowl, pour in the 380 g of condensed milk. This will be the base of your treats and add the necessary sweetness and creaminess.

Incorporate the Walnuts: Add the chopped walnuts to the bowl with the condensed milk. Stir until the walnuts are well distributed.
Combine with Melted Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the condensed milk and walnuts. Mix everything together until well combined. The chocolate should coat the walnuts and condensed milk, creating a rich, creamy mixture.

1. Line a Tray: Prepare a tray or a shallow baking dish by lining it with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the treats later.

Spoon the Mixture: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small balls or squares, depending on your preference. Place them on the lined tray.
Garnish (Optional): If desired, sprinkle some additional chopped walnuts on top of the treats for added texture and decoration.

1. Refrigerate: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the treats to firm up and make them easier to handle.

Check for Firmness: After 15 minutes, check the treats. They should be slightly firm to the touch. If they are still too soft, leave them in the fridge for a little longer.

1. Remove from Tray: Once the treats are set, carefully remove them from the parchment paper. If you made them into balls, you can serve them directly. If you made squares, cut them into smaller pieces.
2. Presentation: Arrange the treats on a serving plate, and if you want, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top for an extra touch.
