Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- Optional toppings (nuts, sprinkles, sea salt, etc.)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhanging edges for easy removal later.
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Stir continuously with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate chips and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
If using optional toppings, sprinkle them over the surface of the fudge while it’s still warm and gently press them in with your hands or a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut it into 16 squares or your preferred size of pieces.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
