Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray or butter.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth (about 1 to 2 minutes).
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated. If using chopped nuts, fold them in at this stage.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place it in the refrigerator to set for 30 minutes.
Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
