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 aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the lining with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If you’re adding chopped nuts, gently fold them into the mixture now.
Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to the edges with a spatula.
Set the baking dish aside and allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until fully set. Alternatively, you can speed up the process by chilling the fudge in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Once set, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the overhanging foil or parchment paper. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice into 1-inch squares.
Serve immediately or store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
