Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- n/a Optional toppings (e.g., chopped nuts, sprinkles, sea salt)
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
If using optional toppings such as chopped nuts or sprinkles, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the fudge and gently press them in to adhere.
Allow the fudge to cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the baking dish. Slice into 24 small squares using a sharp knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
