Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 1 ½ cups)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 10-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
- Melt the Chocolate & Marshmallows: In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and marshmallows over medium heat. Stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Add Peanut Butter & Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Pour & Spread: Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Chill & Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Slice & Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper, place it on a cutting board, and cut into 1-inch squares.
- Store Properly: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- For a firmer texture, reduce the peanut butter slightly.
- For a softer fudge, add extra sweetened condensed milk.
- To make layered fudge, pour half the mixture, chill briefly, then add the remaining layer.
- Sprinkle sea salt, chopped nuts, or caramel drizzle for extra flavor.
- Cutting tip: Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water for smooth edges.
