Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the liner with nonstick spray or butter.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and butter.
Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove, stir well, and continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted (about 2–3 minutes total).
Stir in the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly combined.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to the edges with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to set at room temperature for 2–3 hours or refrigerate for 1 hour for faster setting.
Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares or desired portions.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
