Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0 optional toppings (nuts, sprinkles, etc.)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir the mixture constantly with a heat-resistant spatula until the chocolate chips and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to let it scorch.
Step 4
Once the mixture is melted and silky, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Step 6
If using optional toppings such as nuts or sprinkles, sprinkle them evenly over the surface of the fudge and lightly press them down to adhere.
Step 7
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, then transfer it to the refrigerator and allow it to chill for an additional 2-4 hours or until fully set.
Step 8
Once the fudge is firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the baking dish and place it on a cutting board.
Step 9
Cut the fudge into small squares with a sharp knife. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neater edges.
Step 10
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
