Line an 8-inch square pan with foil, extending the foil over the edges of the pan for easy removal later. Lightly grease the foil with butter or nonstick spray.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and semisweet chocolate chips. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture.
Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
If you'd like, sprinkle festive toppings such as sprinkles or crushed candy canes over the fudge while it's still warm for a seasonal touch.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or until set. Alternatively, refrigerate it for 1 hour for faster chilling.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the overhanging foil. Peel away the foil and cut the fudge into 36 squares.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
