Magic French Fudge is a decadent twist on classic fudge, made with rich semi-sweet chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. Chopped nuts add a nice crunch and a hint of flavor, while vanilla rounds out the sweetness. This fudge is perfect for holiday gift-giving or for serving at a party. It's also a great make-ahead dessert - you can store it in the refrigerator for several days.

Instructions

1.	Prepare a square 8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
2.	In a large saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
3.	Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt until well combined.
4.	Fold in the chopped nuts, reserving a handful for topping.
5.	Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
6.	Sprinkle the reserved nuts on top.
7.	Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
8.	Once firm, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper and transfer it onto a cutting board.
9.	Cut into small pieces and serve.
