Marshmallow Swirl Fudge Recipe

Introduction

This Marshmallow Swirl Fudge is a delightful treat combining smooth, rich chocolate with soft, gooey marshmallow swirls. Easy to make and perfect for sharing, this fudge offers a wonderful balance of flavors and textures that will satisfy any sweet tooth.

Ingredients

• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
3. Step 3: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Step 4: Quickly fold in the mini marshmallows gently with a spatula, stirring just enough to create swirls without melting them completely.
5. Step 5: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Use your spatula to swirl the marshmallows on top so they peek through.
6. Step 6: Let the pan cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
7. Step 7: Lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and slice into 16 squares with a buttered knife for clean cuts.
