Ingredients

  • 3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional, but you’ll thank me later)
  • Optional mix-ins: chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, or a sprinkle of sea salt

Instructions

  • Line a square pan (8×8 or similar) with parchment paper or foil for easy removal. No drama here—just lay it down and breathe.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until glossy and smooth. This usually takes 1–2 minutes total.
  • Stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt. If you’re feeling fancy, fold in your chosen mix-ins now.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula so it chills evenly.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until firm. The fridge is your friend here—don’t rush the set.
  • Lift the fudge from the pan, peel away the paper, and cut into squares. Dust with a little extra salt or cocoa if you like a little swagger on top.
