Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, until completely smooth and melted. Be careful not to let the mixture scorch.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If using optional toppings like chopped nuts, flaky sea salt, or cinnamon sugar, sprinkle them over the fudge now and gently press them in with the back of a spoon.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 16 squares or desired serving sizes.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
