In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.

Heat the mixture over low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the cracker pieces, ensuring all the crackers are covered.

Step 7

Use a spatula to gently press down and distribute the fudge mixture evenly across the dish.

Step 8

If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for a sweet-and-salty finishing touch.

Step 9

Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.

Once set, remove the fudge from the dish using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 16 equal squares.
