Ingredients
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the fudge from sticking.
Melt the chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add flavor: Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Mix in pecans: Gently fold in the toasted pecans, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
Set the fudge: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Cut and serve: Once the fudge has set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut it into squares. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate it for longer shelf life (up to two weeks).
If the fudge becomes too firm, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before serving.
For dairy-free, use dairy-free chocolate chips and plant-based milk like coconut milk instead of sweetened condensed milk.
