Step-by-Step Instructions

• In a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly. Repeat until the chocolate is almost completely melted and smooth; total time should not exceed 2 minutes to avoid burning the chocolate.
• Stir the fudge mixture until it becomes smooth and glossy. If any lumps remain, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds.
• Pour in the Baileys Irish Cream liqueur into the chocolate mixture, stirring to incorporate fully.
• Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
• Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper with edges overhanging for easy removal.
• Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, using a rubber spatula to spread it evenly across the bottom.
• Sprinkle on your desired toppings and gently press them into the fudge.
• Cover the fudge with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours.
• Once chilled, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 1-inch squares.
• Serve and store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
