Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  6. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  7. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until the fudge is firm.
  9. Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
  10. Cut into small squares and serve.

Notes

For a smooth fudge, keep the heat low and stir constantly while melting the chocolate. Grainy fudge is usually caused by overheating the chocolate or not stirring enough. If the fudge isn't setting up, make sure to use good quality chocolate and chill it long enough. Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For variations, consider adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips, peanut butter swirls, peppermint extract, or espresso powder.
