Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Salted butter
- 0.75 cup Evaporated milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, salted butter, and evaporated milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture reaches a smooth consistency.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and mini marshmallows. Stir briskly until the marshmallows are completely melted and incorporated.
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Fold in the chopped walnuts (if using) to add a crunchy texture.
Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, then place it in the refrigerator to set completely (approximately 2 more hours).
Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into small squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
