Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Swirl

1 1/4 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

Prep Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides to make removal easier after the fudge sets.
Melt Chocolate and Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Stir constantly on low heat until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, taking care to avoid scorching the chocolate.
Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract thoroughly to enhance the chocolate flavor.
Fold in Marshmallows: Quickly add 1 1/4 cups of mini marshmallows and gently fold them into the chocolate mixture just enough to create swirls without completely melting the marshmallows, preserving texture and visual appeal.
Transfer and Swirl: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to gently swirl the top so some marshmallows peek through, creating an attractive finish.
Chill and Set: Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until it becomes fully set and firm.
Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 16 squares using a buttered knife to achieve clean edges, then serve and enjoy.

Notes

Use parchment paper with overhang to lift fudge easily from the pan after chilling.
Stir constantly while melting to prevent burning or seizing of chocolate.
Folding in marshmallows gently ensures they maintain a chewy texture and decorative swirl.
Butter the knife before slicing for cleaner cuts.
Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
