Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- as desired optional toppings (nuts, sprinkles, sea salt flakes)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir constantly with a heat-resistant spatula until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix until everything is combined.
Pour the melted fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
If desired, sprinkle nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt flakes evenly over the top of the fudge.
Let the fudge sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a cutting board.
Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into 16 equal squares or your preferred serving size.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
