Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups chocolate chips Use milk, dark, or semi-sweet based on preference.
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk Look for dairy-free coconut milk-based alternatives if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons butter Margarine can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows Chop large marshmallows if mini ones are unavailable.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Almond extract can be used for a different flavor.
  • 1 pinch salt Balancing sweetness and enhancing chocolate flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grease a square or rectangular pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
  3. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir well to combine with the chocolate mixture.
  4. Gently fold in the marshmallows until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Let it cool at room temperature or pop it in the fridge for quicker setting.
  7. Once set, cut it into squares and enjoy your homemade fudge!

Notes

Keep an eye on the chocolate while melting. Letting the fudge cool completely is key to achieving the right texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container. Pair with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for serving.
