Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and salt.
- Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Avoid high heat to prevent burning.

Notes
For a richer fudge, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the mixture after melting the chocolate. Feel free to experiment with other mix-ins like chopped nuts, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips.
