Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (recommended: Ghirardelli or Guittard)
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (one can)
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme (one jar, e.g., Jet-Puffed)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional but recommended)
- Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving about 2 inches of overhang on two opposite sides. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the marshmallow creme and stir vigorously until fully incorporated and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt (if using) until just combined.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Let the fudge cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm (4 hours or overnight for cleanest slices).
- Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 1-inch squares with a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts.
Notes
For the cleanest slices, refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. If fudge seems too soft after refrigeration, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before cutting. The fudge gets creamier after a day or two in the refrigerator.
