Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Pan
Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper to help with easy removal of the fudge once it sets.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Add Flavors
Remove the saucepan from heat and add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine these additional flavors into the melted chocolate mixture.
Step 4: Mix in the Add-ins
If desired, fold in any mix-ins or toppings such as mini marshmallows, candy corn, or crushed candies to give your fudge a festive twist.
Step 5: Pour and Spread
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan.
Step 6: Chill the Fudge
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to cut into squares.
Step 7: Cut and Serve
Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Storage
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
