Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy fudge removal. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate chips and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined. Be careful not to let it burn.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If using chopped nuts, stir them into the mixture at this point.
Step 5
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Step 6
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Step 7
Once set, use the edges of the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 24 small squares (or your desired size) and serve.
Step 8
Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
