Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.5 cup Optional mix-ins (chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, etc.)
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semisweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir until smooth and glossy. If the chocolate is not fully melted, microwave in 15-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval.
If desired, fold in optional mix-ins like chopped nuts or mini marshmallows.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge set at room temperature for 2–3 hours or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once firm, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the baking dish and onto a cutting board. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
