Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk one standard can
- 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter cut into small pieces
- 1.25 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
- 0.75 cup chopped pecans optional; walnuts work too
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
- Combine chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy, 1½–2 minutes total.
- Stir in vanilla and salt, then fold in the pecans until evenly distributed.
- Spread the fudge into the pan and smooth the top; tap the pan to release air bubbles.
- Chill until firm, 1–2 hours. Lift out, slice into small squares, and serve.
Notes
Variation ideas: Swirl 1/4 cup warmed peanut butter or dulce de leche over the top before chilling, or finish with a pinch of flaky salt. For a peppermint twist, fold in 1/4 cup crushed candy canes.
Storage: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze up to 3 months. Serve slightly chilled for the cleanest cuts.
