Instructions
Prepare the pan
Line a 20 cm (8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Pro tip: Use binder clips to secure the parchment paper to the pan edges.
Melt the ingredients
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pro tip: Do not overheat; keep the temperature low to prevent burning.
Pour into pan
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Pro tip: Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Add toppings
Sprinkle your choice of toppings, such as chopped nuts or mini marshmallows, evenly over the surface of the fudge.
Pro tip: Press the toppings lightly into the fudge to ensure they stick.
Chill
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
Pro tip: For quicker setting, chill in the freezer for about 45 minutes.
Cut and serve
Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Pro tip: Use a sharp knife for clean cuts, wiping it between slices for best results.
