Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula to prevent burning, until the chocolate chips and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped nuts (if using).
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm and set.
Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
