Ingredients:
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions:
- Prepare a square baking dish (8×8 inches) by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly with butter.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
- Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute to melt the ingredients. Stir well.
- Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and all the chocolate chips are melted. Be careful not to overheat the mixture.
- Once the mixture is smooth, stir in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper edges or cut it into squares directly in the pan.
- Serve and enjoy your quick and delicious homemade fudge!
