Ingredients

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
1 cup marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow cream)

Instructions

Step 1: Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and melted butter. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Step 3: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.
Step 4: Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Step 5: Drop dollops of marshmallow fluff evenly over the chocolate layer.
Step 6: Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the marshmallow fluff into the chocolate to create a marble effect.
Step 7: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Step 8: Once set, lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares to serve.

Tips & Variations

For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped toasted pecans or walnuts on top before refrigerating.
Use dark or milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet to adjust sweetness to your liking.
Allow the fudge to come to room temperature a few minutes before serving for the best texture.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. You can also freeze fudge for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows a stack of four square pieces of swirled fudge with a mix of dark brown and creamy white layers creating a smooth marbled pattern on each piece. The top piece is decorated with four small white marshmallows on its surface. Surrounding the stack are more pieces of the fudge and scattered small white marshmallows. The fudge rests on a light brown parchment surface with a blurred white marbled texture background, and in the background, there is a glass bowl filled with fudge topped with marshmallows. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of marshmallow fluff?

Regular marshmallows can be melted and swirled in, but marshmallow fluff works best for a smooth, even swirl and texture.

Do I have to refrigerate the fudge?

Yes, refrigeration helps the fudge set properly. Leaving it at room temperature may result in a softer texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt

Marshmallow Swirl

1 cup marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow cream)

Instructions

Prepare the chocolate base. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
Pour the chocolate mixture into a pan. Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Pour the smooth chocolate mixture evenly into the pan, spreading it out with a spatula.
Add the marshmallow swirl. Spoon the marshmallow fluff evenly over the top of the chocolate layer. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the marshmallow into the chocolate to create a marbled effect.
Set the fudge. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours or until firm and set. This allows the fudge to solidify and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Cut and serve. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into small squares and serve. Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the best flavor.
Ensure the marshmallow fluff is at room temperature for easy swirling.
For a firmer fudge, chill longer or refrigerate overnight.
You can add a pinch of espresso powder to the chocolate mixture for a deep mocha flavor.
To make cleanup easier, line your pan with parchment paper with extra hanging over the edges.
