Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Heat the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and a smooth mixture forms (about 4-5 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of kosher salt. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife. For a finishing touch, you can dust the top of the squares with powdered sugar if desired.
Store the fudge meltaways in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
