Ingredients
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: chopped nuts, marshmallows, or dried fruit for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the pan:
Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving extra overhang for easy removal later. - Melt the ingredients:
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. - Add vanilla and salt:
Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined. - Pour into the pan:
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts, marshmallows, or dried fruit on top and gently press them into the fudge. - Chill the fudge:
Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the fudge to chill for at least 2 hours, or until fully set. - Cut and serve:
Once the fudge is firm, use the overhanging parchment or foil to lift it out of the pan. Cut into small squares and serve.
