1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

2. Beat the Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth.

3. Add Sugars: Gradually mix in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.

4. Incorporate Ingredients: Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

5. Add Flour and Salt: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt until just combined; avoid overmixing.

6. Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips gently, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

7. Spread Mixture: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

8. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for an extra chocolatey finish.

9. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours until set and firm.

10. Slice and Serve: Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy!
