Ingredients
  

  • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (Ghirardelli recommended)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts or sea salt flakes

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang for easy fudge removal.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter pieces.
  • Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and fully melted.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt until just combined.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle optional chopped nuts or sea salt flakes over the fudge, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm before slicing into 16 squares.

Notes

For the silkiest fudge, use high-quality chocolate and warm ingredients to speed melting. Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
