Indulge in a Nostalgic Symphony of Sweet Flavors

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish

Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk.
2. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, let it cook for exactly 5 minutes, stirring consistently.

Step 3: Add Chocolate and Vanilla

1. Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly add the chocolate chips and vanilla extract.
2. Stir vigorously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

 

Step 4: Add Nuts (Optional)

Fold in the chopped nuts if you desire a delightful crunch in your fudge.

Step 5: Set and Chill

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is set.

Step 6: Cut and Indulge

Once set, lift the fudge from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into squares.
