Ingredients

• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Salted butter
• 0.75 cup Evaporated milk
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Mini marshmallows
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, salted butter, and evaporated milk.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture reaches a smooth consistency.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and mini marshmallows. Stir briskly until the marshmallows are completely melted and incorporated.

Step 6

Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and continue stirring until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped walnuts (if using) to add a crunchy texture.

Step 8

Immediately pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Smooth out the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.

Step 9

Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, then place it in the refrigerator to set completely (approximately 2 more hours).

Step 10

Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a cutting board.

Step 11

Cut the fudge into small squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
