Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0 as desired Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semisweet chocolate chips, and butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave, then stir well to combine.
Step 4
Continue microwaving in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each session, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly incorporated.
Step 6
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Add any optional toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 7
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and firm.
Step 8
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the baking dish. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into small squares.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or at room temperature for up to 1 week.
