Fudge Base
- 2 cups (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Swirl
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow cream)
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring some paper extends over the edges. This will make it easier to lift out the fudge once set.
- Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and melted butter. Stir constantly for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
- Pour and Spread: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the lined baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly in the dish for an even thickness.
- Add Marshmallow Swirls: Drop spoonfuls of marshmallow fluff over the warm chocolate layer. With a knife, gently swirl the marshmallow into the chocolate to create marbled patterns without fully mixing it in; the idea is to have distinct swirls visible.
- Chill to Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to cut.
- Serve: Once set, use the extended parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut into squares and enjoy your creamy, swirled fudge treat.
Notes
- Use parchment paper with overhang for easy removal and clean edges.
- Be sure to stir constantly when melting chocolate to prevent scorching.
- Do not over-swirl the marshmallow to maintain distinct swirl patterns.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow fudge to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer bite.
