Ingredients (Makes about 16-20 pieces)
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings or add-ins: crushed peppermint, sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini marshmallows
Instructions
1. Prepare Your Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving a little overhang for easy removal. This will make it easier to lift out the fudge after it’s set.
2. Melt the Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until everything is smooth and fully melted together. Be patient and avoid turning up the heat too high—this could cause the chocolate to seize up. You want a smooth, creamy mixture.
3. Add Flavor
Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. This enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness.
4. Pour and Set
Pour the melted fudge mixture into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If you’re adding toppings, this is the time to sprinkle them over the top.
