Ingredients

Scale

2 cups Dark Chocolate Chips (60% cocoa)
14 ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 cup + 2 tablespoons Chopped Pecans

Instructions

Combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a medium-sized microwave-safe glass bowl.
Heat the mixture in the microwave for 90 seconds on high power.
Stir the contents thoroughly with a silicone spatula until completely smooth.
Heat for an additional 15 seconds if any lumps remain.
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Fold in one cup of the chopped pecans.
Spread the mixture into a parchment-lined loaf pan.
Top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of pecans.
Chill in the refrigerator until firm before slicing into 16 squares.

Notes

Ensure you use sweetened condensed milk rather than evaporated milk for the correct consistency. Walnuts can be substituted for pecans if preferred. Store in the refrigerator for the best texture.
