Main Ingredients
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prep Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides for easy lifting later.
- Melt Chocolate, Milk, Butter, and Salt: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and salt. Stir constantly until everything is fully melted and the mixture is smooth to avoid seizing.
- Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Fold in Marshmallows: Quickly fold the mini marshmallows into the warm chocolate mixture gently so they swirl without fully melting, preserving texture and visual appeal.
- Transfer to Pan and Swirl: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and gently swirl the top with your spatula so some marshmallows peek through the surface.
- Chill and Set: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and slice into 16 squares with a buttered knife for clean cuts. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t overheat the chocolate; stir constantly on low heat to prevent seizing.
- Add marshmallows last and fold in gently for the signature swirl without complete melting.
- Line the pan with parchment paper to easily lift and cut the fudge.
- Use a buttered knife for clean, neat fudge squares.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Substitute semi-sweet chips with dark or milk chocolate, or use marshmallow fluff if mini marshmallows are unavailable.
- Add crushed peppermint, chopped nuts, or peanut butter chips for texture and flavor variations.
- Use vegan sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips to make a dairy-free version.
