Preparation Steps

• Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper. Make sure the parchment paper hangs over the edges to easily lift the fudge out later.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, milk, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the butter is melted.
• Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 235°F (113°C) on a candy thermometer. This may take 5-7 minutes.
• Remove from heat and immediately add the chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
• Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
• Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
