Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, ensuring the edges hang over the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the lining with cooking spray or butter.
In a medium saucepan, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to overheat to prevent scorching.
Once the chocolate mixture is fully melted, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly combined.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared 8x8-inch pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula to smooth the top.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the pan using the overhanging foil or parchment. Place it on a cutting board and carefully peel away the lining.
Cut the fudge into bite-sized squares or desired shapes using a sharp knife. Serve immediately or store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
