Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy fudge removal. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate chips and butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined. Be careful not to let it burn.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If using chopped nuts, stir them into the mixture at this point.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Once set, use the edges of the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into 24 small squares (or your desired size) and serve.
Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
