Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This usually takes 1 to 2 minutes total. Alternatively, melt the mixture in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove the chocolate mixture from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold in the miniature marshmallows and the chopped nuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge base.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread it evenly using an offset spatula.
  6. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  7. Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares.

Notes

  • For a glossy finish, reserve a small amount of chocolate chips and melt them separately to drizzle over the top before chilling.
  • If you prefer a different nut, almonds or peanuts work well in this recipe.
  • This fudge sets best in the refrigerator. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before slicing for the best texture.
