Ingredients

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the lining with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If you’re adding chopped nuts, gently fold them into the mixture now.

Step 5

Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to the edges with a spatula.

Step 6

Set the baking dish aside and allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until fully set. Alternatively, you can speed up the process by chilling the fudge in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 7

Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the overhanging foil or parchment paper. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice into 1-inch squares.

Step 8

Serve immediately or store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
