Fudge Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line a 9×9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the sides to make removal of the fudge easier once chilled.
- Combine ingredients: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the mini chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
- Heat and stir: Microwave the mixture for one minute, then let it sit for an additional minute to allow residual heat to melt the chocolate evenly. Stir thoroughly until fully melted and combined. Immediately stir in the vanilla extract.
- Spread the fudge: Pour and spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Chill to set: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, though letting it chill for 2 hours will yield the best texture.
- Slice and serve: Lift the fudge out by the parchment paper edges and cut into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- For a dairy-free variation, substitute sweetened condensed milk with a vegan condensed milk alternative.
- To add texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts or sea salt before chilling.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature slightly before serving for a softer texture.
