Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Mixture
- 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 baking dish: Line an 8×8 inch pan or casserole dish with parchment paper or foil, then lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the fudge from sticking.
- Melt chocolate and butter: In a double boiler over medium heat, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and unsalted butter. Stir constantly to prevent burning until melted. Alternatively, use a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 45 seconds, stirring, then continue microwaving in 15-second intervals with stirring until fully melted.
- Add condensed milk and hot chocolate mix: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and hot chocolate powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Flavor and mix marshmallows: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Gently fold in 2 cups of the mini marshmallows into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour and top: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Evenly spread the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows on top and gently press them into the fudge to adhere.
- Refrigerate: Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Serve: Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper, cut into squares, and enjoy.
Notes
- For best results, use good quality chocolate chips to enhance flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a richer fudge, you can add an extra tablespoon of butter.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute hot chocolate mix packets with unsweetened cocoa powder (about 2 tablespoons) plus sugar to taste.
- Allow the fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer texture.
