Ingredients

• 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
• 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semisweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If you like, fold in the chopped nuts at this stage for added texture.

Step 5

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until set. For quicker results, you can refrigerate it for 1 hour.

Step 7

Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. 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. Enjoy!
