Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with a small amount of butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and dried cranberries. Mix until the cranberries are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
Once the fudge is set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut the fudge into 16 equal squares or smaller pieces, if desired.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
