Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups 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.
- Place the chocolate chips in a medium, microwave-safe bowl.
- Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the chocolate chips.
- Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir well.
- Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the mixture is smooth and completely melted. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes total after the first interval.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- If you prefer a peanut butter version, substitute 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1 cup of creamy peanut butter.
- For fudge suitable for gifting, cut into uniform pieces and wrap individually in small squares of wax paper.
