Instructions:
Prepare the Pan:
Line an 8×8 inch (or similar size) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Melt and Mix:
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine dark chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Flavor Infusion:
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. For an added crunch, fold in chopped nuts of your choice.
Pan and Set:
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
Chill and Cut:
Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and let the fudge set for at least 2 hours. Once set, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the fudge from the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into bite-sized squares.
