• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 0.5 cup chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

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

Step 3

Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir well.

Microwave in 15- to 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. This usually takes a total of 2 to 3 minutes, depending on your microwave.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix thoroughly to combine.

Step 6

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or sprinkles on top and gently press them into the fudge to adhere.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a cutting board.

Step 10

Cut into 16 squares or your desired portion sizes before serving.
