Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Get a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper hanging over the sides so it’s easy to remove after it has been chilled.
  • Place the mini chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
  • Heat for one minute, allow the bowl to set for one additional minute, and then stir the mixture until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is fully combined. Stir in vanilla extract immediately.
  • Spread melted chocolate mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and allow the fudge to set in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour. Two hours is ideal.
  • Lift by the parchment paper and cut into pieces.

Notes

TIP: Check how many squares the chocolate is for your particular brand because different brands the ounces can vary per square!
TIP: Double the recipe for thicker slices of fudge. In a 9x9-inch square pan, this fudge sets to pieces about ¾-inch thick.
TIP: To make cutting easier, score the top of the fudge with a sharp knife before chilling.
