Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (3.9 oz) Jello Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) Unsalted Butter
- 0.6667 cup Evaporated Milk
- 2 cups Semisweet Chocolate Chips
- 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 as needed Cooking Spray or Butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the Jello Instant Chocolate Pudding mix, granulated sugar, unsalted butter, and evaporated milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to boil gently. Let it boil for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the semisweet chocolate chips and mini marshmallows to the hot mixture. Stir vigorously until both are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the fudge's flavor.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely for at least 2-3 hours.
Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment or foil overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 16 squares or your desired size.
Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
