Chocolate Fudge

With just three key ingredients—chocolate chips, sweetened condensed
milk, and butter—this creamy chocolate fudge comes together like a dream!

Ingredients

3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

2 tablespoon butter, cubed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional

pinch of salt, optional

Instructions

Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Leave
an overhang for easy removal. Combine the chocolate chips,
sweetened condensed milk, and cubed butter in a large heavy-
bottomed saucepan. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly, until
the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt (if using).

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Cook over low heat and stir constantly to avoid burning.
While the fudge is still wet, feel free to sprinkle over chopped
nuts, crushed cookies, extra chocolate chips, or dried fruits
for texture.

Tips For The Best Chocolate Fudge

What I love most about this luxurious chocolate fudge is how versatile it is.

Add a handful of chopped nuts for crunch, sprinkle some sea salt over the
top, or try dried fruits for a unique chewy finish.

Better yet, it comes together without a candy thermometer.

Just read these tips before you start, and it'll be flawless!

Use high-quality chocolate. I like Guittard, Ghirardelli, or Valrhona
for the best results. They melt smoothly and have a superior flavor.

Chocolate flavors. Since the milk is sweet, I stick to semi-sweet
chocolate. But you can use milk or dark if you prefer.

Avoid over-stirring. Stir slowly but constantly until the mixture is
smooth and melted. Use a heatproof spatula, and be sure to scrape
the bottom and sides of the pan often.

Troubleshooting tips. If the fudge is too soft, it wasn't heated enough.
If the fudge is too hard, it is overheated. You can remelt and try again
if needed.

Clean cutting method. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped
clean between cuts for perfectly smooth squares.

Creative variations. While it's still wet, sprinkle over chopped nuts,
toasted coconut, crushed cookies, chopped pretzels, and more.
You can also mix peanut butter or mint extract into the fudge.
