Instructions

Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on two sides.
In a heavy saucepan, combine the condensed milk, chips, and salt. Stir over low heat until the chips melt and the mixture is smooth and thick, 5 to 7 minutes. Or microwave in 45-second bursts, stirring well each time.
Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and freeze-dried banana powder.
Spread evenly in the pan. Sprinkle with the vanilla wafer crumbs and press lightly.
Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. Lift out using the parchment and cut into 1-inch squares.

Tips

Use chocolate chips or a good bar you like to eat; fudge made with candy coating tastes waxy.
Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
Best vanilla for this: Tahitian (floral, cherry, anise), or Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic). Any pure vanilla works.
Storage: Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
