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 walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to let the mixture overheat or scorch.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. If using walnuts, fold them in gently until evenly distributed.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly using a spatula.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once set, use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice into 16 squares or your desired size.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
