  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for 5 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 235°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  4. Pour the fudge into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
  5. Let cool completely at room temperature, or for faster cooling, place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!
