For the Fudge:

4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
3 cups Chocolate chips use your favorite type (semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate)
1/4 teaspoon Salt to enhance the flavor
1 can Sweetened condensed milk (14-ounce)
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract for a hint of warmth and depth

Directions

Start by lining your 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. This will make it easy to lift the fudge out once it’s set.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the unsalted butter, chocolate chips, salt, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir gently until everything is melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the mixture is fully melted and combined, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Carefully pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, smoothing the top as you go.
Place the baking pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm.
Use a sharp knife to cut the fudge into squares. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

For vegan fudge, substitute unsalted butter with vegan butter and regular chocolate chips with dairy-free ones.
Ensure you use full-fat sweetened condensed milk for best results.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
