Ingredients
- 10 ounces semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the baking pan: Line a 9×9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over the sides. This will help you easily lift the fudge out once it has chilled.
- Combine chocolate and condensed milk: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet mini chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk together.
- Heat and stir mixture: Microwave the mixture for one minute. Then let it sit for an additional minute without stirring to allow the heat to continue melting the chocolate.
- Mix in vanilla extract: Stir the mixture until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is uniform. Immediately mix in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Spread mixture in pan: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill and set: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Cut and serve: Once set, use the parchment paper edges to lift the fudge out of the pan, then cut it into bite-sized pieces for serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper with overhanging edges to make removing the fudge easier.
- Make sure to stir immediately after microwaving to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- For a firmer fudge, chill it longer in the refrigerator.
- You can add nuts or other mix-ins to the chocolate mixture before chilling if desired.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
