Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the baking dish

    Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. This will help prevent the fudge from sticking.

  2. 2

    Melt the chocolate

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Add flavorings

    Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, remove it from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.

  2. 4

    Incorporate optional toppings

    If using, fold in the chopped nuts and sprinkle some chocolate sprinkles into the mixture for added texture and flavor.

Setting the Fudge

  1. 5

    Pour and set

    Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

  2. 6

    Cut and serve

    Once the fudge is set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the dish. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your homemade chocolate fudge!
