Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- to taste Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt, etc.)
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth (about 2-3 times).
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
If using optional toppings, sprinkle them evenly over the fudge and gently press them into the surface.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Slice the fudge into 16 equal squares (or smaller pieces if desired) and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
