Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the liner with nonstick spray or butter.
In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat. Stir constantly with a heat-resistant spatula to ensure the mixture doesn’t burn or stick.
Once the mixture is fully melted and smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped nuts (if using) until well incorporated.
Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely (approximately 2 hours).
Once firm, lift the fudge out of the dish using the parchment paper or foil overhang. Cut it into 24 squares or desired sizes using a sharp knife.
Enjoy or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
