Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch salt optional
Instructions
- Prepare your pan by greasing an 8-inch square baking dish or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal of the fudge later.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each time until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Once your chocolate mixture is smooth, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if desired.
- Quickly pour the melted fudge into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
- Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours until firm.
- Once the fudge is set, remove it from the pan, cut it into squares, and serve your delicious creation.
