Chocolate Nutella Fudge

Ok...in an attempt to empty out my pantry as we prepare for a probable move within the next month....here is a little sweet treat made with some very simple ingredients screaming to be used up. I was able to share with all the folks that walked through our home on open house day!
Enjoy!

Chocolate Nutella Fudge

Ingredients
Butter or butter cooking spray, for greasing the pan
1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp good quality pure vanilla extract
3/4 pound (about 1 1/2 cups) bittersweet chocolate chips (60-70% cacao)
3 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces, at room temp.

Directions
Butter or spray the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8-inch baking pan. Line the pan with a sheet of parchment paper, about 14-inches long and 7 inches wide, allowing the excess to overhang the sides. set aside.
In a medium glass or stainless steel bowl, combine the condensed milk and vanilla. Stir in the chocolate chips and butter. Put the bowl on a saucepan of barely simmering water and mix until the chocolate chips have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 6 to 8 minutes (mixture will be thick). Using a spatula, scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
Run a warm knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the fudge. Remove the fudge to a cutting board. Peel off the parchment paper and cut the fudge into 1-inch pieces. Store refrigerated in an airtight container or freeze.

Enjoy!
