Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the fudge out once it's set.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Set the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let the chocolate scorch.
Once the mixture is smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If you’re adding chopped nuts, fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once the fudge is set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan.
Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
