Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the foil.
  2. Combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, butter, and salt in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan.

  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly.
  6. Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  7. Use the foil overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Place on a cutting board.
