Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0 optional toppings: chopped nuts, sea salt, or mini marshmallows
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with non-stick spray or a bit of butter.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate chips and butter melt completely, and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. Be careful to avoid burning the mixture by keeping the heat low and stirring consistently.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Step 5
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle the surface with optional toppings such as chopped nuts, sea salt, or mini marshmallows for added flavor and texture.
Step 7
Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely, approximately 2-3 hours.
Step 8
Once the fudge has hardened, use the parchment overhang to lift it from the dish. Cut into 24 squares or your desired portion size.
Step 9
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
