Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 2 cups semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving extra hanging over the sides for easy removal later.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy.
  3. Stir in Sweetened Condensed Milk: Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the melted chocolate mixture, whisking until fully incorporated and silky.
  4. Add Vanilla and Salt: Remove the pan from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to elevate the flavors.
  5. Pour and Chill: Pour the creamy mixture evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  6. Cut and Serve: Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper edges, then cut into small squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for richer flavor.
  • Melt chocolate and butter slowly over low heat to prevent burning or seizing.
  • Mix until sweetened condensed milk is fully blended for smooth texture.
  • Refrigerate fudge thoroughly before cutting for clean slices.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
