Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (Dark chocolate chips can be used for a deeper flavor)
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk (No direct substitutions recommended)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (Substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (Opt for pure vanilla extract for the freshest taste)
Swirl and Topping
- 1 cup marshmallow creme (Homemade marshmallow fluff can be a substitute)
- 0.5 cup colored candy melts or white chocolate chips (Using milk chocolate chips offers a more uniform look)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Pour and Spread the Base: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to smooth it evenly across the surface.
- Add the Marshmallow Cream: Dollop the marshmallow creme over the chocolate base in small spoonfuls, then gently swirl it into the chocolate using a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
- Introduce Colorful Candy Melts: Sprinkle the colored candy melts or white chocolate chips evenly on top of the fudge and swirl them gently into the marshmallow and chocolate layers to add colorful accents.
- Chill Until Firm: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm to the touch and set completely.
- Cut and Serve: Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper edges and cut it into neat squares. Serve and enjoy this luscious treat.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil.
- Dark chocolate chips can be used for a richer, deeper chocolate flavor.
- Pure vanilla extract provides the best flavor; avoid imitation vanilla.
- Homemade marshmallow fluff can replace marshmallow creme for a fresher, homemade touch.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to 1 week.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature before serving for the best melt-in-your-mouth texture.
