5 Minute Chocolate Fudge

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan:
   • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. Combine Ingredients:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.

1. Microwave:
   • Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Continue to microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
2. Add Vanilla and Salt:
   • Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
3. Add Nuts (Optional):
   • If you’re using nuts, fold them into the fudge mixture until evenly distributed.
4. Transfer to Pan:
   • Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
5. Chill:
   • Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the fudge chill for at least 2 hours, or until it’s set.
6. Cut into Squares:
   • Once the fudge is set, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into squares or rectangles of your desired size.
7. Serve:
   • Serve your 5-minute chocolate fudge and enjoy this quick and delicious treat!
