Ingredients
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup optional mix-ins (e.g., chopped nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the fudge later.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate), sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.
Step 5
If using any optional mix-ins, fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Step 6
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Step 8
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares or desired serving sizes.
Step 9
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
