Ingredients

• 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sea salt, sprinkles)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

If desired, sprinkle your choice of toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sea salt, or sprinkles) evenly over the surface and press them gently into the fudge.

Step 7

Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 8

Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.

Step 9

Cut the fudge into 24 squares or your desired size and serve.

Step 10

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