Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0 Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, flaky sea salt, sprinkles)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir constantly with a heat-resistant spatula until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
Step 5
Quickly pour the melted fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle toppings (such as chopped nuts, flaky sea salt, or sprinkles) evenly over the surface of the fudge and press them gently into the fudge to adhere.
Step 7
Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 8
Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into 16 squares or your desired serving size.
Step 9
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
