Ingredients You’ll Need

- 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 cup chopped nuts, crushed cookies, or sprinkles for added texture
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Your Pan
- Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Lightly grease the lining with butter or nonstick spray.
2. Melt the Ingredients
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted (about 1–2 minutes total).
- Stir in the vanilla extract. If using nuts, cookies, or other mix-ins, fold them in gently at this stage.
3. Pour and Chill
- Pour the melted fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle additional toppings (like sea salt, sprinkles, or crushed nuts) on top if desired.
- Refrigerate the fudge for 2–3 hours, or until firm.
