Ingredients

• 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
• 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0 Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, flaky sea salt, sprinkles)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray or butter.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir constantly with a heat-resistant spatula until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.

Step 5

Quickly pour the melted fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle toppings (such as chopped nuts, flaky sea salt, or sprinkles) evenly over the surface of the fudge and press them gently into the fudge to adhere.

Step 7

Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Step 8

Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into 16 squares or your desired serving size.

Step 9

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
