Description

This rich and creamy Hot Chocolate Fudge combines semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk and hot chocolate mix to create a decadent treat. Topped with mini marshmallows, this easy-to-make fudge is perfect for chocolate lovers looking for a luscious dessert that sets in the refrigerator without baking.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 hot chocolate packets (or 6 tablespoons hot chocolate mix)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Topping

  • 3 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch pan or casserole dish with parchment paper or foil and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a double boiler over medium heat, combine the milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and butter. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
  3. Add Condensed Milk and Hot Chocolate Mix: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and hot chocolate powder until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. If not using a double boiler, microwave the mixture in a microwave-safe bowl by heating for 45 seconds, stirring, then reheating in 15-second intervals until melted.
  4. Add Vanilla and Marshmallows: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, then gently fold in 2 cups of mini marshmallows.
  5. Pour and Top: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows on top and gently press them into the fudge to adhere.
  6. Chill: Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the fudge to set before serving.

Notes

  • You can use a microwave for melting if you don’t have a double boiler—just be sure to stir frequently to avoid burning.
  • For firmer fudge, chill overnight.
  • Mini marshmallows on top add extra texture and a fun visual appeal.
  • Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
