Morphology
The meaning 'a soft, rich, sweet confection made with chocolate' is directly derivable from combining 'chocolate' (the flavor/ingredient) with 'fudge' (a creamy sweet confection): it is a straightforward ingredient-based noun phrase. This compositional pattern (modifier + noun specifying a variant) is common and cross-linguistically regular, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Chocolate fudge paints a simple picture: chocolate shows the flavor and fudge was the name cooks gave to a soft, creamy candy made by mixing sugar, butter and milk. So, chocolate fudge today means a soft, rich chocolate sweet.
