Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12 oz) pack chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 Tbsp. Grandma’s® Molasses
- 1 ½ tsp. Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 C. mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prep the pan
Grease an 8×8-inch pan lightly with cooking spray or butter. For even easier release, line the pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap, letting a little hang over the edges. (This makes it much easier to lift the fudge out once it’s set!) - Melt the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. This usually takes about 1.5 to 2 minutes total. Be careful not to overheat; the mixture should be smooth and glossy. - Add flavor
Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, add the molasses, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir vigorously to combine until the mixture looks ultra glossy and everything is evenly distributed. The molasses adds that beautiful, caramel-like undertone to the chocolate. - Fold in the marshmallows
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, distributing them throughout the fudge mixture. The marshmallows give the fudge a fun texture, with little pockets of chewy sweetness in every bite. - Transfer and press
Pour the mixture into your prepared pan, and use a spatula (or butter paper) to press it down evenly. Press firmly so the fudge becomes a dense, cohesive mass. This helps achieve that perfect, rich fudge texture. - Refrigerate to set
Pop the pan into the fridge for 1-2 hours to let the fudge set completely. It should be firm and sliceable when you take it out. - Slice and enjoy
Once the fudge is fully set, use the overhanging parchment or plastic to lift it out of the pan. Slice it into squares and savor each bite!
Notes
Serving ideas and presentation
This fudge is rich and decadent, so I love cutting it into small squares for sharing. You can dust the top with a bit of powdered sugar or even drizzle melted white chocolate for contrast. If you’re serving this at a gathering, arrange the pieces on a nice platter and sprinkle a few extra marshmallows around for a fun touch.
