Serves: 36
Ingredients
  • 3 cups of semi-chocolate chips (this is typically 1.5 packages of chocolate chips)
  • 1 14oz. can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 TBSP of butter
  • 1 tsp. of vanilla
  • ¼ tsp of salt
  • 1 cup of mini marshmallows (or other mix-in you desire)
Instructions
  1. Prepare the pan by covering an 8x8 pan with aluminum foil and spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. • Start with a large microwave safe bowl and add the chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk.
  3. • Divide the butter into 4 1-TBSP slices and add to the mix.
  4. • Pop this mixture in the microwave on high for 60 seconds.
  5. • Pull it out (it will be hot) and start mixing.  The chocolate chips and butter will mostly melt as you mix.
  6. • Add the vanilla and salt and mix in.
  7. • Pop it back in the microwave for another 30 seconds.
  8. • Finish mixing until it is smooth and looks something like this:
  9. • At this point, this is when you would add your marshmallows (or other mix-ins!) and gently fold them into the fudge mixture.
  10. • Pour the fudge mixture into the pan and spread evenly with a spreader/spatula.
  11. • Then place it in the fridge to harden.
  12. • Once it is hard (about 2-hours), pull the foil out of the pan and lay flat on a cutting board.
  13. • The best way to cut is with a large, sharp knife. I start by cutting all of the edges by about ¼ of an inch to make a perfect smooth square all around. BTW - these edges still taste great and a nice treat while you cut the fudge. :)
  14. • To get 36 pieces, make 6 strips with the knife from one end of the fudge to the other. Then repeat on the next side and you will have 36 even pieces.
