Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir constantly until the chocolate chips and butter have melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped nuts (if using).
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set faster.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into 16 squares.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
