Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped nuts (peanuts, pecans, almonds, or walnuts)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line a 9″x13″ pan or an 8″x8″ pan (for thicker fudge) with foil and spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt the chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir well. If chocolate chips are not completely melted, continue to microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
- Add flavor and mix-ins: Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Gently fold in miniature marshmallows and chopped nuts, combining everything evenly without melting the marshmallows.
- Set the fudge: Spread and press the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Refrigerate until firm and ready to serve.
- Serve: Use the foil to lift the fudge from the pan, cut into 30 bite-sized pieces, and enjoy.
Notes
- You can substitute the nuts with your preferred variety or omit them for a nut-free version.
- For thicker fudge, use an 8″x8″ pan instead of 9″x13″.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
- Microwave wattages vary, so adjust melting times accordingly to avoid burning the chocolate.
