Easy Chocolate Fudge

 Normally fudge doesn’t make the cut on to my Christmas baking list, but this year it somehow made it's way on there, and now it might very well become a part of the holiday baking tradition.

It’s so easy, and such a sweet little indulgence that can be cut into perfect little squares that make my OCD smile.

• 3 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 can of sweetened condensed milk
• Pinch of salt
• 1 ½ tsp of vanilla
• ½ cup of pecans, chopped *optional

1. Line a 8x8 or 9x9 pan with tin foil, and lightly grease.

2. In a medium sized saucepan, over low heat, mix the chocolate chips with the condensed milk until the chocolate is completely melted.

3. Add salt, and vanilla and pecans, mix until combined and pour into prepared pan and refrigerate until firm. Cut into small squares and store in an air tight container in the freezer or fridge.
