Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside. I like to leave an overhang so I can easily lift the fudge out and cut it into squares.
  • In a medium saucepan, set over medium-low heat, combine the chocolate chips, butter and condensed milk, and salt together. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the fudge from the pan, lifting out the paper, and then cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Storage: You can store the homemade chocolate fudge will last in a covered container, at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
  • Freezing: Yes you can freeze chocolate fudge for up to 3 months, in a covered container. Thaw at room temperature.
  • Butter: If you only have salted butter, omit the salt in the recipe.
