Vietnamese coffee fudge. Vietnamese coffee, which makes use of sweetened condensed milk, is perfect for people who add lots of cream and sugar to their black coffee.
Vietnamese coffee fudge, on the other hand, is perfect for everyone with a sweet tooth! This rich confection combines chocolate with sweetened condensed milk and a hint of coffee extract. As you may have heard, coffee brings out the very best in chocolate desserts, accentuating its flavors and bringing out nuances that otherwise might be lost!
The extract I used is Pure Coffee Extract from Nielsen-Massey. This company was founded over a century ago and makes products that are all-natural and free of gluten, allergens, and GMOs. This particular extract is carefully distilled from premium coffee beans and is easy to keep on hand, unlike ground coffee or beans, which rapidly lose their flavor.
Nielsen-Massey has partnered with McCrea's Candies to make a phenomenal gift basket perfect for any occasion. McCrea’s quest is to find perfect combinations of smooth, sweet, fresh, and unexpected using the fewest possible ingredients, and their mission is simple--make the world's best caramel. I can tell you honestly that they're definitely in the running!
Speaking of gifts, this fudge is wonderful for snacking and for giving away! I can't think of a single host or hostess who wouldn't be thrilled to receive such a decadent gift--you'll be the very best guest, especially if you include the goodies from Nielsen-Massey and McCrea's Candies too! If you'd like a chance to win a gift basket of your very own from McCrea's and Nielsen-Massey (for keeping to yourself or for sharing), it's your lucky day!
Items included within the gift basket:
·McCrea's Black Lava Sea Salt Caramels (5.5 oz tube, $14.95) — Rich, creamy caramel with crystals of Hawaiian black sea salt. A moment in paradise.
·McCrea's Classic Vanilla Caramels (5.5 oz tube, $14.95) — McCrea's original caramel generously infused with sweet, aromatic vanilla. For the purist
·Nielsen-Massey's Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Sugar (7.5 oz jar, $23) — A flavorful blend of gourmet baker's sugar and the pinnacle of all vanillas, Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract. Use it in any recipe where vanilla and the sweetness of sugar are desired.
·Nielsen-Massey's Pure Coffee Extract (2 oz bottle, $9) — The rich, freshly brewed flavor is achieved through our careful distillation of premium coffee beans.

What a great giveaway! The coffee fudge looks so tempting, Grace.
That fudge looks super scrumptious! All these items sound really lovely, too.
That fudge looks delicious!!
My sister in law loves to bake and decorate cakes, so whenever we are having a party for a birthday, she makes everyone individual cakes. She is really into the presentation.
My friend Pam is the best hostess I know, in fact we call her the real Martha Stewart. She makes everything from scratch and everything is always delicious.
The best hostess I've ever known is my mom. She taught everything I know about hospitality!
I wouldn't be a fan of the Vietnamese coffee, but that treat seems like a perfect dessert for me, Grace! ;)
The best hostess I've ever known was my long-time friend Narine from Alaska. I came to visit her several years ago and I truly enjoyed staying at her house, for many reasons. First of all, my room had plenty, and I mean plenty, of blankets and pillows, and I got to sleep in. Second, she made waffles from scratch in the morning and served them with homemade blueberry preserves. Third, we had a day full of conversation, laughter, and great food at her place. I truly enjoyed my visit with her!
My mother was the best hostess. She was all about formalities and made sure all the guests were tended to. There were always cloth napkins and tablecloths along with lots of silver pieces. She's still alive but has dementia. I dread cleaning out her vast amount of cabinets/storage areas, because they are full of party essentials. My sister nor I have room for all of it!
My friend Pat is the best hostess - and the best guest. I know this basket would make a perfect hostess gift, but I might need to keep it for myself!
I love homemade fudge yours look so good. I'd love a bite or two ;)
I haven't had fudge in a loooooong time. I love the addition of espresso. Espresso makes chocolate taste even more chocolatey! That fudge would last -10 seconds in my house. I said -10 seconds because knowing me I would eat so much of the batter there wouldn't be anything left to make fudge WITH!
Ohhhh, what a fun giveaway!!! GOOD LUCK all! <3 - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
The owner of a business I worked for in the 80's was the best hostess. She was a gracious lady, soft spoken and well mannered who created beautiful tablescapes, served delicious food and made it look so easy. No one ever left one of her soirees without a huge smile and lots of stories to tell about the event.
WHAT? This has to be the best fudge I've ever seen. Vietnamese coffee is such a treat! Combine it with fudge and I'm a happy girl
The best hostess is my mother because she is always trying to make people comfortable and trying new things.
My grandmother was a great hostess, and a great cook (artist, seamstress, decorator...). I always think about what she would do when I'm planning my domestic moves. Your fudge looks terrific!
I love the sound of this fudge as I love Vietnamese coffee! :D
Great recipe Grace. Good manner visitors are hard to come by these days. At least to my house anyway!
My mom is the best hostess I know. Gracious and kind and a wonderful cook.
my cousin is the best hostess
The best hostess is my mother
My grandma is my favorite hostess

My friend Anita is the best hostess I know she always has good food, decorates and often has gifts for people to take home.
My husband he really good at hosting
It would be my sister. She's great as making people feel at ease and welcome. Plus, she has a cheery personality.
We have a friend who always has several foods for everyone, regardless of food preferences, and who always knows when I'm getting chilly and will get up and bring me a blanket, without even my saying anything.
My friend Laura. She is a phenomenal hostess. Always prepared. Everyone feels welcome. I could go on and on. She truly is the best!
I hope it's me this year
The best hostess is my mom and grandmother, they always make the best meals and delicious desserts!!
my mom@
My sister is the best hostest. She always makes everything so fun. Everyone always goes to her house for things. Always a lot of great food.
Mmm, that fudge looks AMAZING!! The best hostess I've ever known is definitely my sister. From instantly making you feel welcome and at home in her house to having the most deliciously prepared foods on hand (and they are always plentiful!). The one skill of hers that I envy the most is that she incorporates all of those little touches, a fanciful twist on recipe, an artfully arranged veggy tray, a little take-home bag with recipes and samples for when you're leaving - and she makes it all look effortless!
Oh my, the fudge looks delicious! I've never made fudge myself, but I had some in summer in France (also coffee fudge), what a delight!
What a beautiful post! The best hostess I've ever know is my mother. She really goes out of her way to make sure all her guests feel at home and have a wonderful visit.
Great giveaway! The fudge looks AMAZING!
my mom is definitely the best hostess :)
This sounds like an amazing twist on fudge! I love coffee flavor in sweets. I might not want to share this after making it!
My mom was the best hostess I ever knew.
My mom is the best she always has everything ready to go and seems organized.
The best hostess I have ever known would be my grandma. She always went above and beyond with any dinner!
I really don't know any perfect hostesses as way I see it we all have secretly messed something up in one way or another lol.
My mom was a fantastic hostess! Everyone loved coming to our house.
my grandma is the best hostess I know kind, caring, amazing personality and good cook.
Looks so good! I can't get chocolate off my mind!
My mom was the best that i ever knew

My Grandma Betty was always an awesome hosTess.
I bet this fudge is out of this world delicious!
These look like great ingredients! Lovely fudge recipe.
Wow!! Sorry I missed out on this chance! What a nice prize! This fudge looks absolutely delicious, Grace!!
Grace this fudge looks absolutely delicious!
I admit I am not the biggest fan of fudge. But this one has me swooning because of the combination of chocolate and coffee, which I can never resist.
The fudge sounds perfect for my youngest--she totally takes her coffee that way (and yes, I let her drink coffee growing up, good thing it turned out to be healthy). I did this giveaway too--fun package!
