Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Pinch of salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Place the pot over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Let the chocolate mixture cool for about 1-2 minutes, then gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped nuts.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board.
Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
