Ingredients (for about 16 pieces)
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the pan:

- Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir to combine. Heat the mixture until it begins to bubble gently around the edges.
3️⃣ Add the chocolate:
- Reduce the heat to low and add the chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
4️⃣ Add flavoring:
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for added flavor. Continue stirring until everything is well combined.
5️⃣ Pour and set:
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until it’s fully set and firm.
6️⃣ Cut and serve:
- Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut it into small squares.
Enjoy!
