Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
Add the butterscotch morsels, sweetened condensed milk, and salt to a medium-sized heat-safe bowl.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until completely melted and smooth. It took us two 30-second intervals to melt.
Evenly spread the butterscotch fudge into the prepared baking dish.
Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours until firm. Slice into 25 servings (5x5-inch slices) before serving.

Be sure to use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated milk, for this sweet treat. The fudge will not set if evaporated milk is used.
The parchment paper makes clean-up a snap, plus it makes it much easier to remove from your pan when it’s time to slice into squares.
You can omit the ¼ teaspoon of salt, but that tiny amount of salt keeps the fudge from being overpoweringly sweet. You can also reduce the salt to ⅛ teaspoon.
To help cut this easy butterscotch fudge after chilling, score a grid on the top of the fudge when it is barely set but still warm.
