Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and the chopped nuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
  6. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
  7. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Place it on a cutting board.
  8. Cut the fudge into 1-inch squares. Store the squares in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use good quality chocolate chips.
  • You can substitute the nuts with your preferred variety, like almonds or peanuts.
  • This fudge sets faster if you place it in the freezer for 30 minutes instead of the refrigerator.
  • If you are making this for gifting, cut the squares neatly and wrap them individually in small squares of wax paper.
