This homemade fudge is easy to make using a combination of milk and dark chocolate and sweetened condensed milk melted into creamy hot chocolate made using a powdered mix.
Lots of marshmallows are sprinkled in and on top of this chocolate fudge giving it a touch of vanilla flavor and a soft and chewy texture.
Let's make some fudge.
Ingredients
- heavy whipping cream
- hot cocoa mix - I used Nestle Milk Chocolate hot cocoa mix with marshmallows.
- sweetened condensed milk
- dark chocolate chips
- milk chocolate chips
Supplies
- 8-inch or 9-inch square pan
- non-stick tin foil or parchment paper
- saucepan - Use a 2 or 3-quart pan.
- silicone spatula
Instructions
Combine 5 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream with 2 packets of hot cocoa mix in a medium saucepan.
Stir until combined and heat over low heat.
Stir until the hot chocolate mix dissolves into the heavy cream.
Pour a can of sweetened condensed milk into the hot chocolate.
Stir just until combined.
Sprinkle 9 ounces of milk chocolate (1 ½ cups of chips) into the pan.
Add 9 ounces of dark chocolate (1 ½ cups of chips). Stir for 30 seconds then remove the pan from the heat.
Let the pan rest for 3-4 minutes, allowing the chocolate to melt. Then stir until creamy and smooth.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of the chocolate fudge into a small zip-top bag. You'll use this to drizzle over the fudge.
Stir in 1 ½ cups of mini marshmallows.
Pour into a tin foil or parchment paper lined square baking sheet.
Spread into an even layer.
Top with about ¾ cup of mini marshmallows. Drizzle the reserved chocolate fudge over the top.
Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 4 hours. Then chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes until firm.
Remove the fudge from the pan and cut into squares.
Storage
Store your hot chocolate fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Or wrap in wax paper and place in a zip-top bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
