Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14-ounce) Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sea salt, sprinkles)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray or butter.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate chips and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take around 2-3 minutes total.
Once smooth, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
If using toppings, sprinkle them evenly over the surface of the fudge and gently press them down to adhere.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the baking dish. Cut it into 24 squares or your desired serving size.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Serve and enjoy!
