Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.

  3. Add Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly to blend the flavors.
  4. Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour and Spread: Pour the melted fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Notes

  • For variation, add chopped nuts or a pinch of sea salt before chilling.
  • Ensure to stir continuously while melting to prevent burning the chocolate.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • Allow fudge to come to room temperature briefly before serving for a softer texture.
