Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, crushed candy, sea salt flakes)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and lightly grease the paper with cooking spray or butter.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, crushed candy, or sea salt flakes) over the surface of the fudge and press gently to adhere.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely for at least 2 hours.
Once the fudge is firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan and place it on a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 16 squares or your desired serving size. Serve and enjoy!
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
