Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 hot chocolate packets (or 6 tablespoons hot chocolate mix)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Topping
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch pan or casserole dish with parchment paper or foil. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the fudge from sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a double boiler, combine the milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and hot chocolate powder.
- Melt the Mixture: Heat the double boiler over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt in a microwave-safe bowl by microwaving for 45 seconds, stirring, then continuing in 15-second intervals until melted.
- Add Flavor and Marshmallows: Stir in the vanilla extract, then gently fold in 2 cups of mini marshmallows until evenly distributed.
- Pour and Top: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows on top and gently press them into the fudge to adhere.
- Chill: Cover the pan and refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours or until firm before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Using parchment paper or foil makes for easy removal of the fudge from the pan.
- If you do not have a double boiler, melting in the microwave in short bursts works well to prevent burning.
- The marshmallow topping adds a fun texture contrast and can be adjusted based on your preference.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- This fudge can also be customized by adding nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before chilling.
