Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups butterscotch chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the butterscotch chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Stir continuously until the butterscotch chips and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If using chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture as well.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut it into small squares for serving.
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
