Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 396 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- as desired Optional toppings (nuts, sprinkles, etc.)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with a tiny bit of butter or oil.
In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle nuts, sprinkles, or other toppings on top and gently press them into the fudge.
Let the fudge set at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to speed up the process.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 16 equal 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. Serve and enjoy!
