Ingredients

Scale

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, making sure to leave an overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge later.
Melt Chocolate, Milk, Butter, and Salt: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and salt. Stir constantly on low heat until completely melted and the mixture is smooth, taking care not to overheat.
Add Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Fold in Marshmallows: Quickly fold in the mini marshmallows gently with a spatula so they create swirls without fully melting, maintaining their shape and texture.
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 before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours or until fully set and firm.
Slice and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Slice into 16 squares using a buttered knife for clean cuts and serve.

Notes

Don’t overheat the chocolate or it will seize; keep heat low and stir constantly.
Add marshmallows last and fold gently to retain the swirl effect.
Use parchment paper in the pan for easy removal and neat cutting.
A buttered knife helps to slice fudge cleanly without sticking.
Store fudge in an airtight container to prevent drying out.
Can be made up to 5 days ahead—keep refrigerated or freeze for up to 3 months with parchment layers between pieces.
Consider substitutions like dark or milk chocolate chips, marshmallow fluff, peppermint pieces, or nuts for variations.
