Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure your fudge releases easily after chilling.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter thoroughly. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring constantly until completely smooth and combined.
  3. Add Condensed Milk and Mix: Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk while stirring. Keep the heat low and continue to stir until the mixture becomes creamy and shiny, ensuring no chocolate lumps remain.
  4. Incorporate Vanilla and Salt: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to boost the flavor complexity and balance the sweetness.
  5. Pour and Chill: Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until firm to the touch.
  6. Slice and Enjoy: Once chilled, lift the fudge using the parchment paper and cut it into small squares. Serve, savor, and watch smiles spread!

Notes

  • Use quality chocolate: Premium chocolate chips or bars dramatically improve taste and texture.
  • Stir constantly: Prevents scorching and ensures a silky-smooth mixture.
  • Monitor heat closely: Low and slow heat is key to avoid grainy fudge.
  • Chill thoroughly: For clean cuts, fully refrigerate fudge before slicing.
  • Room temperature ingredients: Ensures even melting and mixing for a consistent result.
