In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
2. Add Flavor
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until well combined. This enhances the chocolate and adds depth to your fudge.
3. Pour and Set
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the fudge mixture into the dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle optional toppings, like nuts, sprinkles, or mini marshmallows, on top if desired.
4. Chill
Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until the fudge is firm. Once set, lift it out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
5. Enjoy!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh.

For a richer taste, use a mix of milk, dark, and semi-sweet chocolate.
