Introduction

This decadent marshmallow swirl fudge is a rich and creamy treat perfect for chocolate lovers. With a smooth chocolate base and fluffy marshmallow swirls, it offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors that melt in your mouth.

The image shows square pieces of fudge with two main layers. The bottom layer is a dense, dark brown chocolate base with a slightly crumbly texture. Mixed into the chocolate are round, white marshmallow pieces embedded inside, some cut open to reveal their soft texture. The top layer is a swirled design of white and dark brown chocolate, creating smooth, flowing patterns on a shiny surface. The fudge squares are stacked and scattered on a light tan surface with a subtle texture. The background is softly blurred with more fudge pieces visible in muted tones. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Use high-quality for best flavor.)
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (For a dairy-free option, use coconut condensed milk.)
1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (Melt for even mixing.)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Use pure vanilla for the best results.)
1 pinch Salt (Balances the sweetness.)
1 cup Marshmallow Fluff (or Marshmallow Cream) (Creates a creamy texture.)

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.
Step 2: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix until just combined.
Step 3: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and pour the warm chocolate fudge mixture into the dish.
Step 4: Dollop spoonfuls of marshmallow fluff over the fudge layer and gently swirl it in with a butter knife or skewer.
Step 5: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until it is firmly set.
Step 6: Lift the fudge out of the baking dish and cut into squares. Serve chilled.

Tips & Variations

Use high-quality chocolate chips for the richest flavor and smooth texture.
For a dairy-free version, substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk and use dairy-free butter.
Try adding chopped nuts or sea salt flakes on top for added crunch and contrast.

Storage

Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To soften before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. Fudge can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.

How to Serve

The image shows several square pieces of fudge stacked closely together, each with two main layers. The top and sides have a smooth swirl pattern mixing dark brown chocolate with creamy white, creating a marbled effect. The bottom layer is a solid thin chocolate base, slightly darker and more textured than the swirled top. The fudge squares have clean edges, and the shiny surface of the chocolate shows a soft, rich texture. The fudge pieces rest on a white marbled surface, enhancing the contrast of the chocolate colors. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate?

Yes, you can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips depending on your taste preference. Just make sure to adjust sweetness if using darker chocolate.

Marshmallow cream is a perfect alternative, and some people use melted marshmallows with a little cream to achieve a similar texture.
