Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.

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 heat and stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 4-5 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

If using optional toppings such as chopped nuts or sprinkles, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the fudge and gently press them in to adhere.

Step 7

Allow the fudge to cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours.

Step 8

Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the baking dish. Slice into 24 small squares using a sharp knife.

Step 9

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
