Ingredients
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0 as desired optional toppings (e.g., crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth (this should take about 2-3 minutes total).
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle your chosen toppings evenly over the surface and gently press them down so they stick.
Step 6
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Step 7
Once the fudge is completely set, use the parchment overhang to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 1-inch squares.
Step 8
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
