Ingredients
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the liner with nonstick spray or butter.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat. Stir constantly with a heat-resistant spatula to ensure the mixture doesn’t burn or stick.
Step 3
Once the mixture is fully melted and smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped nuts (if using) until well incorporated.
Step 5
Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely (approximately 2 hours).
Step 7
Once firm, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper or foil overhang. Cut it into 24 squares or desired sizes using a sharp knife.
Step 8
Enjoy or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
