Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper with cooking spray or butter.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. This will take about 4-5 minutes.
Once fully melted, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once the fudge has set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan.
Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
