Ingredients

Scale
  • 397g (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 400g (14 oz) milk chocolate, chopped
  • 115g (4 oz) butter, unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Instructions

  • Prepare the Tin. Grease and line an 8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. This makes it easy to lift the fudge out later.
  • Combine Ingredients. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chopped chocolate, butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
  • Melt the Chocolate. Microwave on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Through trial and error, I’ve learned that patience is key here – don’t overheat the chocolate!
  • Pour into Tin. Pour the melted fudge mixture into the prepared tin and spread evenly with a spatula.
  • Chill. Cover the tin with cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until the fudge is firm.
  • Cut & Serve. Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the tin using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve. My children prefer smaller squares, but feel free to cut them as large as you like!
