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 of 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, ensuring an easy removal once set.
- Melt Ingredients: Place the milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and butter in a double boiler. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and hot chocolate powder. If you prefer, use a microwave-safe bowl instead.
- Heat and Stir: Warm the double boiler over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, microwave for 45 seconds, stir well, and continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until completely melted.
- Add Flavor and Marshmallows: Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly. Gently fold in 2 cups of the mini marshmallows, incorporating them evenly into the fudge mixture.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the melted fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows on top and gently press them into the fudge so they stick as it sets.
Notes
- Using parchment paper or foil helps in easy removal of the fudge without sticking.
- Constant stirring during melting is crucial to prevent scorching the chocolate.
- If using a microwave, heating in short intervals prevents overheating and burning.
- For a firmer fudge, refrigerate the pan after pouring the mixture until set, approximately 2 hours.
- You can substitute mini marshmallows with chopped regular marshmallows if preferred.
