Ingredients

2 cups (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow cream)

Instructions

Step 1: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the fudge out later.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and melted butter. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 5: Drop spoonfuls of marshmallow fluff over the warm chocolate. Use a knife to gently swirl the marshmallow into the chocolate, being careful not to overmix so the swirls remain distinct.
Step 6: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours until firm. Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge from the dish, cut into squares, and serve.

Tips & Variations

For extra texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or crushed peppermint candies on top before refrigerating.
Swap semi-sweet chocolate for dark or milk chocolate to adjust sweetness to your preference.
If marshmallow fluff is unavailable, use mini marshmallows melted slightly for the swirl effect.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. You can also freeze fudge for up to two months; thaw in the refrigerator before cutting.

How to Serve

The image shows five pieces of chocolate fudge with a marbled top layer swirled with dark and white chocolate, creating smooth, wavy patterns. Each piece has two distinct layers: the top layer is glossy and smooth with rich, dark brown chocolate, while the bottom layer combines a mix of creamy white and dark chocolate in a thick, soft texture. The fudge pieces have slightly rough edges and are arranged on a white plate with a thin gold rim, which sits on a white marbled surface. The lighting highlights the shiny and smooth surfaces of the fudge, making the swirls stand out. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this fudge without marshmallow fluff?

Yes, you can substitute marshmallow fluff with mini marshmallows that are gently melted or omit it altogether for a classic chocolate fudge.

How do I know when the fudge is fully set?

The fudge is set when it feels firm to the touch and easily lifts from the pan via the parchment paper. This usually takes at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
