Fudge Ingredients
- 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 packets hot chocolate mix (or 6 tablespoons hot chocolate mix)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch pan or casserole dish with parchment paper or foil, and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of fudge after setting.
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a double boiler, combine milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsalted butter. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and hot chocolate powder. Alternatively, place these ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat and Stir: If using a double boiler, warm over medium heat while stirring constantly to prevent burning until fully melted and smooth. If microwaving, heat for 45 seconds, stir, then continue microwaving in 15-second bursts until melted.
- Add Vanilla and Marshmallows: Stir in the vanilla extract, then gently mix in 2 cups of mini marshmallows into the melted fudge mixture to incorporate.
- Pour into Pan: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows over the top and gently press them into the fudge so they adhere.
- Chill: Cover the pan and refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours to set completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Using a double boiler prevents the chocolate from burning, but the microwave method is a quick alternative.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a dash of cinnamon to the mixture.
- The fudge should be stored covered in the refrigerator and consumed within a week for best freshness.
- You can substitute mini marshmallows with chopped regular marshmallows if needed.
