Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare an 8x8-inch square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with butter. This will make it easier to remove the fudge later.
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 the bowl from the microwave and stir well.
Step 4
Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 2-3 additional intervals.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
Step 6
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or until it is firm and set.
Step 8
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper or loosen it with a butter knife. Cut it into 16 small squares or desired serving sizes.
Step 9
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
