Ingredients

Directions

  1. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
  3. 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.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
  7. 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.
