Instructions

Prep your workspace by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter. Stir continuously until melted and smooth (about 5-7 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
If using, fold in chopped nuts gently into the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
