Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate for a richer taste)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional mix-ins: chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or candy pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare your pan: Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter (if using). Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth—about 1-2 minutes total.
  3. Add flavor: Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  4. Incorporate mix-ins: Fold in any optional mix-ins for added texture and flavor.
  5. Spread the mixture: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Chill and set: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm. Alternatively, place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
  7. Slice and enjoy: Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan, slice it into squares, and treat yourself!
