Ingredients

500 grams semi-sweet chocolate approximately 18 ounces
1 small can sweetened condensed milk 14 ounces or 397 ml

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Chop the chocolate finely and set it aside. Line an 8-inch x 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in the microwave on 30-50% power for 30-45 second increments until heated through and very hot.
Alternatively, add the sweetened condensed milk to a saucepan (non-stick is best to prevent burning) and heat it over medium-low heat until very warm (not boiling).
Remove the condensed milk from the heat and add the chocolate pieces, stirring very gently as the chocolate melts. Use a silicone spatula to stir, not a whisk, so that you don't incorporate any air bubbles into the mixture.
Pour the fudge mixture into the lined pan, smoothing out the top.
Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until completely set.
Slice and serve.
