How to Make Simple Fudge

  1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces (340g) of chocolate chips (milk, dark, white, butterscotch – your choice!) and 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk.
  3. Microwave on medium-high power in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth (3-6 minutes total).
  4. Remove from microwave and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  7. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 1-inch squares and enjoy!
  8. (Optional) Add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or candies to the mixture in step 4 for extra deliciousness!
