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 (2 cups mixed into fudge, 1 cup for topping)
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 to the liner.
- Melt the chocolate and butter: In a double boiler over medium heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and unsalted butter. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Alternatively, place these ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and hot chocolate mix: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and hot chocolate powder into the melting chocolate mixture, continuing to stir until fully melted and smooth. If using a microwave, heat for 45 seconds, stir, then continue in 15-second intervals until melted.
- Incorporate vanilla and marshmallows: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Gently fold in 2 cups of mini marshmallows until evenly mixed.
- Pour and top: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared dish. Evenly spread the remaining 1 cup mini marshmallows over the top, gently pressing them into the fudge to adhere.
- Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the fudge is set and firm.
Notes
- Stir the chocolate mixture frequently while melting to prevent burning and ensure smooth texture.
- Use a double boiler or microwave method carefully to avoid overheating the chocolate.
- For best results, chill the fudge for at least 4 hours but overnight refrigeration enhances firmness.
- If fudge does not set properly, ensure correct refrigeration time and consider using a well-lined pan to assist in easy removal.
