Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some excess to hang over the edges for easy removal.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir well to help the chocolate melt evenly.
Continue microwaving in 15-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1-2 additional minutes, depending on your microwave's power.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until evenly incorporated.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
If using optional toppings, sprinkle them evenly over the surface of the fudge and gently press them into the mixture.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Once the fudge is set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the baking dish. Cut into 16 equal squares or your desired size.
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
