- 510g (18oz) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 57g (2oz) Unsalted Butter, Cubed
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 397g (14oz) Sweetened Condensed Milk (1 Can)
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Add the chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk to a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir well after microwaving.
- Continue microwaving in 30 second bursts on 50% power, stirring very well after each burst, until the chocolate and butter are just melted when stirred, about 1-2 minutes total.
- Once melted, add the vanilla and salt. Stir until fully incorporated.
- At this point the fudge will still look chunky and unappetizing. Continue microwaving on 50% power in 30 second bursts, stirring very thoroughly after each burst, until the fudge is smooth, shiny, and has a pudding-like texture, about 1 minute longer.
- Pour the fudge into a foil-lined 8×8 inch pan and smooth the top with a spatula. (source: Ineskohl.info)
- Chill the fudge completely in the refrigerator until set, about 2 hours.
- Remove the fudge from the pan by lifting out the foil, then cut into small squares with a warm knife for clean cuts. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best flavor. Go for brands like Guittard or Ghirardelli.
- Stir the fudge very well at each stage. This prevents scorching and yields a smooth, velvety texture.
- Chilling the fudge after makes it easier to cut cleanly. Run your knife under hot water and wipe dry between each cut.
- Customize your fudge with mix-ins! Try peanut butter chips, toffee bits, crushed candy canes, or chopped nuts.
- Make it dairy-free by swapping the butter for coconut oil.
- Gift squares of fudge stacked in cute jars or boxes for perfect edible holiday gifts!
