Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup pecans (optional, chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and salt.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 1 minute, continuing to stir frequently to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Mix until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is glossy.
Allow the fudge mixture to cool slightly (about 3-4 minutes), then fold in the mini marshmallows and pecans (if using). Stir gently but quickly to prevent the marshmallows from fully melting.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature for 3-4 hours, or speed up the process by refrigerating it for 1 hour.
Once set, cut into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
