Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Use high-quality for best flavor.)
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (For a dairy-free option, use coconut condensed milk.)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Melt for even mixing.)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Use pure vanilla for the best results.)
- 1 pinch Salt (Balances the sweetness.)
- 1 cup Marshmallow Fluff (or Marshmallow Cream) (Creates a creamy texture.)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and measure them accurately. Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat to ensure it blends smoothly.
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: In the same saucepan, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to the melted butter. Stir continuously over low heat until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is uniformly smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Add Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to balance and enhance the sweetness of the fudge.
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set.
- Pour Base Layer: Pour half of the chocolate fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- Swirl Marshmallow: Spoon dollops of the marshmallow fluff over the fudge base. Then pour the remaining chocolate mixture on top. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the marshmallow cream into the chocolate to create a marbled effect without fully blending it.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours or until fully set and firm.
- Serve: Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into 16 squares and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk and ensure marshmallow fluff is vegan-friendly.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a richer taste and smoother consistency.
- If you prefer a less sweet fudge, reduce the amount of marshmallow fluff or drizzle it on top instead of swirling.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving if it becomes too hard after refrigeration.
