Ingredients
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, flaked sea salt, sprinkles)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture on HIGH for 1 minute. Remove and stir well.
Step 4
Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes in total.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
If using optional toppings, sprinkle them evenly over the top and gently press them into the fudge.
Step 8
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Step 9
Once firm, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment overhang and cut it into 1-inch squares.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
