Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle optional toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or a pinch of sea salt, over the top of the fudge.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
Once the fudge is set, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 16 squares or desired serving sizes.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
