Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
- In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.
- Microwave on 50% power for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes total. Do not overheat.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into small squares.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips.
- If you prefer a firmer fudge, chill it for 4 hours or overnight.
- You can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or mini marshmallows during the final stirring step for variation.
