# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Line an 20-centimetre square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges overhang for easy removal.
02 -
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in vanilla extract and, if using, fold in chopped nuts until evenly distributed.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula, smoothing the surface.

Refrigerate the pan uncovered for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely set and firm to the touch.

# Helpful Notes:
01 -
For best results, use high-quality chocolate, keep heat low when melting, and ensure the fudge chills fully for clean slicing.
02 -
Fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
