Ingredients
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional add-ins:
- 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup dried fruit (like cranberries or raisins)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Melt the Ingredients
- In a microwave-safe bowl or a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Flavor
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and any optional add-ins like nuts or marshmallows.
- Pour and Set
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Chill
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
- Cut and Serve
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into small squares.
Tips
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- For a swirl effect, drizzle melted white chocolate over the fudge and swirl with a toothpick before chilling.
- Use dark chocolate or flavored chips (like peanut butter or butterscotch) for variations.
Enjoy your quick and decadent 5-minute fudge! 🍫✨
