32 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups 18 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 14 oz can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
- Wax or parchment paper for lining the pan
Instructions
Prepare the pan:
- Lightly grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan. Line it with wax or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to allow for easy removal once the fudge is set.
Melt the base ingredients:
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan set over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and salt. Stir continuously with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and cohesive. Avoid high heat to prevent scorching.
Incorporate vanilla:
- Once the mixture has been removed from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract until fully integrated.
Transfer to pan:
- Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, smoothing the top.
Chill until firm:
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it has set firmly. Once firm, lift it from the pan using the parchment overhang and transfer to a cutting board.
Cut and serve:
- Remove the paper and slice the fudge into small, even squares. Serve immediately or store as directed.
