Chop the chocolate into small, even pieces to ensure it melts evenly.

Butter the parchment paper in the container to prevent sticking, though it's optional due to non-stick properties.

Line an eight-inch square container with parchment paper, ensuring it's completely covered.

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped chocolate and two 14-ounce cans of sweetened condensed milk over low heat.

Stir constantly until the mixture is melted and smooth, being careful not to burn it.

If desired, add in optional ingredients like espresso powder, vanilla, or nuts after the chocolate has melted.

Pour the melted fudge mixture into the lined container and press it down into a flat layer.

Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for at least two hours or on the counter for three hours until set.

Once set, remove the fudge from the pan and cut it into desired sizes, preferably one-inch squares.
