Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Step 3
Stir the mixture continuously until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Be careful not to let the mixture scorch.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Allow the fudge to cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Step 7
Once the fudge is set, use the parchment overhang to lift it out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares or desired portions and serve.
Step 8
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
