Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz (1 can) sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups butterscotch chips
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with non-stick spray or butter.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and butter.
Stir continuously with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Be patient and keep the heat low to prevent burning.
Once fully melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt. If using chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into 16 squares or desired serving sizes.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
