- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy lifting later.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly until everything is melted and smooth. Be sure not to let it boil.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Let it cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 and a half hours.
Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper and place on a cutting board. Slice into 24 even squares.
Serve and enjoy, or store as directed.
