Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make removing the fudge easier later.
Combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter in a medium, heatproof bowl.
Melt the mixture using a double boiler method: Place the bowl over a saucepan with 1-2 inches of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Stir the mixture constantly with a spatula until the chocolate is fully melted and the ingredients are smooth and combined.
Remove the bowl from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
If using chopped nuts, sprinkle them over the top of the fudge and press them in lightly with the back of a spoon.
Let the fudge set at room temperature for about 2 hours, or refrigerate for 1 hour for faster setting.
Once firm, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 16 squares.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
