Ingredients
18oz(510g)Dark chocolate(I used 60% Callebaut Cocoa)
To begin, gather all the ingredients mentioned earlier: chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Line an 8 x 8-inch square parchment-lined pan or a silicone mold. You can also create different shapes and sizes using various molds or cookie cutters for a fun twist.
Start by placing the chocolate and butter in the microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them on high for about 30 seconds, then remove the bowl and stir it. Repeat this process until the chocolate chips and butter are completely melted and smooth. Be sure not to overheat the mixture, as it can lead to burnt chocolate.

Add the semi-sweet chocolate and the unsalted butter to the bowl. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.

Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is well combined and smooth. The fudge mixture will become thick and glossy.
Pour the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly and smooth the top.
