Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.

Step 2

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

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

If using optional toppings, sprinkle them evenly over the fudge and gently press them into the surface.

Step 7

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Step 8

Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.

Step 9

Slice the fudge into 16 equal squares (or smaller pieces if desired) and serve.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
