Line an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
Combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and Irish cream liqueur in a large saucepan, and heat over low heat. Stir constantly making sure to reach the bottom of the pan to ensure no chocolate chips stick and burn.
Continue stirring for approximately 5 to 7 minutes or until the chocolate chips melt completely and all the ingredients are well mixed. The mixture should be thick and have a glossy appearance.
Add the vanilla extract and continue to stir until combined.
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, and use a silicone spatula to smooth into an even layer. Transfer to the refrigerator to cool for at least 3 to 4 hours.
Cut into squares, and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
