Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 24 ounces (about 4 cups) good quality chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (mix of semi-sweet and milk chocolate recommended)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into smaller pieces
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 7 ounces (about 1 1/2 cups) marshmallow fluff or marshmallow creme
- Optional: Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch square baking pan completely with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides for easy lifting.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low to medium-low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and cubed butter. Stir continuously until melted.
- Keep stirring constantly until the mixture is rich, thick, smooth, and glossy, with no visible streaks. This usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Immediately remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly stir in the pure vanilla extract and fine sea salt until fully incorporated. If adding chopped nuts, fold them in now.
- Carefully pour about half of the warm fudge mixture into your prepared pan and gently spread it evenly across the bottom.
- Drop spoonfuls of marshmallow fluff evenly over the first layer of fudge.
- Gently pour the rest of your warm chocolate fudge mixture over the marshmallow dollops. Use your spatula to spread the top layer as evenly as possible.
- Add a few more small dollops of marshmallow fluff on top of this second fudge layer. Take a butter knife or skewer and gently drag it through the fudge and marshmallow, creating beautiful swirls.
- Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 to 4 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm.
- Once fully chilled and firm, use the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift the entire slab of fudge out of the pan onto a cutting board. Gently peel away the parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the fudge into your desired size squares. Arrange your beautiful marshmallow swirl fudge on a platter and serve!
Notes
- Overnight chilling is often ideal for perfectly solid fudge.
- For the cleanest cuts, wipe the knife clean after every few cuts.
