Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
Instructions
Grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds. Stir well to combine.
Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This generally takes about 1-2 minutes total depending on your microwave.
Add the salt and vanilla extract to the melted mixture and stir to combine. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or almonds for added texture and flavor.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to make an even layer.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
