Description
A rich and indulgent fudge candy that captures the essence of comfort and togetherness, blending chocolate and buttery sweetness with a hint of vanilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Optional: nuts, dried fruits, or peppermint for add-ins
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and line a square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter over low heat. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and sea salt.
- Fold in any optional add-ins if desired.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Once firm, use parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan and cut into squares.
- Serve chilled for a chewy treat or at room temperature for a softer texture.
Notes
For a vegan version, use dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut milk. Ensure fudge sets properly for best results.
