Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt)
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy fudge removal.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir thoroughly.
Continue microwaving in 15-20 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes total depending on your microwave.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle optional toppings (like chopped nuts or sea salt) evenly over the surface of the fudge.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is completely firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
