Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, caramel bits (or caramel candies), and butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the ingredients are melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the mixture.
Once the mixture is smooth, stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle sea salt, chopped nuts, or drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top for added flavor and decoration.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set.
Once the fudge is set, remove it from the baking dish using the parchment paper or aluminum foil overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into small squares or rectangles.
Serve the White Chocolate Caramel Fudge at room temperature or slightly chilled.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
