Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips OR chopped baking chocolate
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
Optional Mix-ins
  • 1 cup mix-ins (toasted nuts, mini marshmallows, toffee bits, chopped candies, dried fruit, crushed cookies) Feel free to customize with your favorite mix-ins.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish or similar with parchment paper, leaving a generous overhang.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips/chopped chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
  3. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until the chocolate and butter are just melted and mixture is smooth, usually 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total. Do not overheat.
  4. Stir in vanilla, salt, and any mix-ins (save a few for sprinkling on top, if desired).
Finishing Touches
  1. Spread fudge into prepared pan, smoothing the top.
  2. Scatter with extra mix-ins, flaky sea salt, or sprinkles if you like.
  3. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour until firm.
  4. Lift out by parchment and cut into small squares.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality chocolate. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. Can be frozen for later enjoyment.
