Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or nonstick spray.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semisweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If you like, fold in the chopped nuts at this stage for added texture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until set. For quicker results, you can refrigerate it for 1 hour.
Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 1-inch squares.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
