Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is fully set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 16 squares or your desired size.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
