Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray with nonstick spray.
In a large saucepan, add sugar, milk, and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir often to prevent the bottom from burning. Boil and stir for 4 minutes.
2 ⅔ cups granulated sugar, 1 cup whole milk, 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
Remove from heat and let stand 1 minute.
Add chocolate chips, vanilla, and salt. Stir to melt the chocolate. Continue stirring until all chocolate chips have melted and it becomes smooth.
2 ⅔ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the top using a spatula.
Let sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours to set. Remove from the pan to cut into small squares.

Whole milk: Whole milk will give you richer, creamier fudge.
Salted butter: If using salted butter, omit the salt.
Semisweet chocolate chips: Feel free to use bittersweet chocolate chips for fudge that isn't as sweet.
Salt: If you don't have kosher salt or sea salt, use half the amount of table salt.
