Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes 1 to 1.5 minutes total.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until combined.
- Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and the chopped nuts. Mix just until they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Allow the fudge to set completely at room temperature for about 2 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour for faster setting.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut the fudge into small squares.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips or chopped baking chocolate.
- If you prefer pecans over walnuts, substitute them directly in the recipe.
- You can substitute milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips for semi-sweet, adjusting sweetness as needed.
- This fudge makes a wonderful homemade candy gift when wrapped individually.
