This easy no-bake fudge is topped with gooey mini marshmallows, perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings with a delightful twist of cozy hot cocoa flavor.

Ingredients

Chocolate Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 hot chocolate packets (or 6 tablespoons hot chocolate mix)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Topping

  • 3 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8Ă—8 inch pan or casserole dish with parchment paper or foil, then lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the fudge from sticking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and butter in a double boiler. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and hot chocolate powder.
  3. Melt Mixture: Warm the double boiler over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning until the mixture has melted into a smooth, creamy consistency. Alternatively, microwave in a microwave-safe bowl starting with 45 seconds, then 15-second increments, stirring between, until melted.
  4. Add Flavor and Marshmallows: Stir in the vanilla extract, then gently fold in 2 cups of the mini marshmallows into the melted chocolate mixture.
  5. Pour and Top: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows on top and gently press them into the fudge so they adhere.
  6. Set the Fudge: Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the fudge to set firmly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Using a double boiler helps prevent the chocolate from burning and ensures smooth melting.
  • If using microwave, stir frequently to avoid hotspots and burning.
  • For firmer fudge, refrigerate overnight.
  • You can swap mini marshmallows with regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces if preferred.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
