Ingredients

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 heaping cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper (or wax paper). Set pan aside.
  2. Combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the baking chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. (Sometimes the chips don’t melt well, just keep stirring!)
  3. Quickly fold in the mini marshmallows. Scrape into the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
  4. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Once set, slice your fudge and serve.
  5. Uneaten fudge can be stored in an airtight container, layered with wax paper, in the fridge for up to 1 week. It can also be stored in the freezer (again in an airtight container) for about two months.

Recipe Notes

  • Be sure you use sweetened condensed milk! If you use evaporated milk your fudge will not set up.
  • A 12-ounce bag of chocolate chips is 2 cups.
  • If you prefer, you can substitute 3 cups of white chocolate chips for the 2 cups of regular.
  • If you want, you can stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla or peppermint extract before you stir in the marshmallows.
  • The fudge sets up quickly once the chocolate chips are melted, so you’ll need to stir fast when you add the marshmallows (and extract, if you choose!).
  • I recommend keeping the fudge chilled until you’re ready to serve it; it softens quite a bit at room temperature.
