2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips Can substitute with dark or milk chocolate chips.
1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk Adds sweetness and creaminess.
1/4 cup Unsalted butter Adds richness and depth of flavor.
1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract Enhances the flavor profile.
1 cup Optional mix-ins (nuts, dried fruits, etc.) Customize to your preference.

Gather all your ingredients and tools: a medium-sized saucepan, a mixing bowl, a spatula, and an 8x8-inch square baking dish lined with parchment paper.
In the medium-sized saucepan, add the chocolate chips and butter. Place over low heat, stirring constantly for 5-7 minutes until melted.
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir until well combined and smooth.
Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
If using optional mix-ins, fold them into the mixture now.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until firm.
Once set, lift out of the baking dish and cut into squares.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

For variations, consider adding nuts, dried fruits, or spices to customize your fudge.
