Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup pecans (optional, chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, milk, cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 1 minute, continuing to stir frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Mix until the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is glossy.

Step 6

Allow the fudge mixture to cool slightly (about 3-4 minutes), then fold in the mini marshmallows and pecans (if using). Stir gently but quickly to prevent the marshmallows from fully melting.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature for 3-4 hours, or speed up the process by refrigerating it for 1 hour.

Step 9

Once set, cut into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
