Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- as desired Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semisweet chocolate chips, and butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave, then stir well to combine.
Continue microwaving in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each session, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Add any optional toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt, pressing gently to adhere.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the baking dish. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into small squares.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or at room temperature for up to 1 week.
