Ingredients
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0 Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle optional toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or a pinch of sea salt, over the top of the fudge.
Step 7
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
Step 8
Once the fudge is set, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 16 squares or desired serving sizes.
Step 9
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
