Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking, ensuring easy removal once the fudge is set.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave the mixture in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
  3. Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt evenly throughout the mixture to enhance all the fudge’s flavors.
  4. Pour and Chill: Pour the smooth chocolate mixture into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the fudge is firm and set.
  5. Cut and Serve: Once the fudge is set, lift it out using the parchment paper and cut it into bite-sized squares. Enjoy immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • Use quality chocolate for a richer fudge flavor.
  • Do not overheat the mixture to avoid burning the chocolate; melt slowly and stir frequently.
  • Use room temperature or slightly softened butter for better melting and mixture integration.
  • Allow at least 2 hours of chilling time in the refrigerator for the fudge to firm up properly.
  • For clean cuts, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry.
