Ingredients:
- 18 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
Instructions:
- Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an inch of overhang on all sides. <small>Note: This ensures you can lift the fudge out for clean cuts later.</small>
- Place the 18 oz chocolate chips, 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tbsp unsalted butter in a heavy saucepan.
- Set the burner to low and stir constantly. Cook 5 minutes until the chips are almost entirely melted.
- Toss in the 1 cup of mini marshmallows. <small>Note: These will melt slowly and help stabilize the mixture.</small>
- Continue stirring until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy. No lumps should remain.
- Remove from heat. Take the pan off the stove immediately to prevent the chocolate from overheating and becoming chalky.
- Fold in the 1.5 tsp vanilla extract and 0.25 tsp sea salt. Stir briskly to incorporate.
- Pour the warm mixture into your prepared baking dish. Spread with a spatula until the surface is level and even.
- Let the pan sit on the counter for 30 minutes, then move it to the fridge. Chill at least 3 hours until firm to the touch.
- Lift the fudge out using the parchment wings. Slice into 36 squares using a sharp, warm knife.
