Ingredients
  

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds, optional)

A pinch of salt

Cooking spray or parchment paper (for lining)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray for easy removal later.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted (usually about 1 to 1.5 minutes total).

      Flavor it Up: Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. If using, fold in chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

        Spread the Mixture: Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

          Chill and Set: Refrigerate the fudge for about 1 hour, or until it is firm to the touch.

            Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into small squares or rectangles with a sharp knife. Enjoy your delicious fudge!
