-
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.

Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir well. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.

Lift the fudge out of the pan using the paper overhang. Peel off the paper and cut into squares with a sharp knife.

Note
**Storage:** Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
**Variations:** For Mexican Fudge, reduce vanilla to 1 teaspoon and add 1 tablespoon of instant coffee granules. For Butterscotch Fudge, omit chocolate chips and vanilla, and melt 2 (12 oz) packages of butterscotch chips with the condensed milk.
**Texture Tip:** Ensure you stir the mixture thoroughly after every microwave interval to prevent burning and ensure a smooth consistency.
**Substitutions:** You can use dark chocolate chips for a richer, less sweet fudge, or milk chocolate chips for a creamier flavor.
