Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 packets hot chocolate mix (or 6 tablespoons)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan
- Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Melt the Chocolate Mixture
- In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and sweetened condensed milk.
- Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until fully melted and smooth.
- Add Flavoring
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the hot chocolate mix and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Fold in Marshmallows
- Gently fold in 2 cups of mini marshmallows, reserving the remaining 1 cup for topping.
- Pour and Top
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved marshmallows on top, pressing them gently into the fudge.
- Chill the Fudge
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is fully set.
- Slice and Serve
- Once chilled, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate; low heat prevents it from seizing.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle crushed peppermint or drizzle caramel on top before chilling.
