Quick and Easy Fudge

(adapted from Betty Crocker Cookbook)

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract (or other extract of your choice)
3/4-1 cup chopped nuts (optional--could probably substitute marshmallows or just about anything)

Heat chocolate chips and condensed milk in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the extract and nuts. Spread in an 8 x 8 baking dish (either butter the dish or line it with foil and butter the foil). Refrigerate for at least an hour. Makes approximately 64 pieces.
