Paula Deen’s 5-Minute Fudge: Quick and Decadent Chocolate Bliss

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir frequently until everything is melted and smooth.
Add Flavorings:

Once the chocolate and butter mixture is completely melted, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if desired. Mix until fully incorporated.
Chill and Set:

Pour the mixture into a greased 8×8-inch baking dish or a lined pan for easy removal. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Cool and Cut:

Allow the fudge to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until it is firm. Once set, cut the fudge into small squares or rectangles.
Serve:

Serve and enjoy this easy and indulgent treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
