Marshmallow Swirl Fudge is a rich, creamy, and irresistibly sweet treat combining smooth semi-sweet chocolate, luscious sweetened condensed milk, and delightful swirls of soft mini marshmallows.

Ideal for gifting, parties, or whenever you need a quick homemade indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Swirl

  • 1 1/4 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge later.
  2. Melt Chocolate, Milk, Butter, and Salt: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, unsalted butter, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, being careful not to overheat to avoid seizing the chocolate.
  3. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated, enhancing the flavor depth of the fudge.
  4. Fold in Marshmallows: Quickly add the mini marshmallows and gently fold them into the chocolate mixture with a spatula. Stir just until marshmallows begin to swirl in without melting completely, preserving their soft texture and visual appeal.
  5. Transfer to Pan and Swirl: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the spatula to gently swirl the top so that some marshmallows peek through the surface, creating a beautiful marbled effect.
  6. Chill and Set: Let the pan cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until fully set and firm.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and slice it into 16 squares with a buttered knife for clean cuts. Serve immediately or store as directed.

Notes

  • Don’t overheat the chocolate to prevent it from seizing—stir constantly on low heat.
  • Add marshmallows last to maintain the swirl effect without melting them completely.
  • Use parchment paper in the pan to easily lift and cut the fudge.
  • A buttered knife makes for cleaner, smoother fudge slices.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container to keep it moist and fresh.
  • Substitute semi-sweet chips with dark or milk chocolate for different flavor profiles.
  • For a dairy-free option, use vegan condensed milk and chocolate.
  • Add crushed peppermint or chopped nuts for additional texture and flavors.
