Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dish – Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
- Melt the Ingredients – In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir well, then microwave for another 30 seconds if needed, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add Flavor – Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to ensure an even consistency. If adding nuts, fold them into the mixture at this stage.
- Transfer to Pan – Pour the melted fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Set the Fudge – Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Cut and Serve – Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper, place it on a cutting board, and slice into small squares.
- Enjoy – Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
