Ingredients
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 14-ounce can Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil extends over the edges for easy removal later. Lightly grease the foil with butter or nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir frequently until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to overheat the mixture, as chocolate can burn easily.
Step 4
Once the mixture is fully combined and smooth, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly distributed. If using chopped nuts, fold them in at this point.
Step 5
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared 8x8-inch pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula, ensuring the surface is smooth.
Step 6
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
Step 7
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the aluminum foil overhang. Transfer it to a cutting board and peel away the foil.
Step 8
Cut the fudge into 24 squares or your preferred size, and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
