Ingredients

• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0 as desired optional toppings (e.g., crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth (this should take about 2-3 minutes total).

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle your chosen toppings evenly over the surface and gently press them down so they stick.

Step 6

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.

Step 7

Once the fudge is completely set, use the parchment overhang to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 1-inch squares.

Step 8

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
