- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0 Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy fudge removal.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir thoroughly.
Step 4
Continue microwaving in 15-20 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes total depending on your microwave.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.
Step 6
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle optional toppings (like chopped nuts or sea salt) evenly over the surface of the fudge.
Step 8
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely firm.
Step 9
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife.
Step 10
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
