Fudge Base
- 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
Marshmallow Swirl
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow cream)
- Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang on the sides to make removing the fudge easier later on.
- Melt Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and melted butter. Stir continuously for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract and salt thoroughly.
- Pour Chocolate Mixture: Transfer the smooth chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it flat.
- Add Marshmallow Swirls: Spoon dollops of marshmallow fluff on top of the warm chocolate layer. Use a knife to gently swirl the marshmallow into the chocolate to create beautiful swirls without fully mixing.
- Refrigerate to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm. Once set, use the parchment paper edges to lift the fudge out of the dish, cut into squares, and serve.
Notes
- Ensure that the heat is low while melting chocolate to prevent burning or seizing.
- Do not over-mix the marshmallow with the chocolate to preserve the swirl effect.
- For easier cutting, warm the knife slightly before slicing the fudge.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can customize this fudge by adding nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before refrigerating.
