14 oz. can fat free sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch salt

Line 8" square baking pan with plastic wrap, leaving 2" overhang.  Smooth out wrinkles.

Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan.  Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.  Transfer fudge to prepared pan; spread evenly with rubber spatula.  Let cool.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.

Uncover fudge, remove from pan by lifting edges of plastic wrap.  Invert fudge onto cutting board; discard plastic wrap.  Cut fudge into 8 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 8 pieces.
