Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:10 minutes
Chill Time:3 hours
Total Time:3 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups of milk chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 tbsp of unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup of hot chocolate mix around 4 packages
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 3 cups of mini marshmallows divided
  • 1/2 cup of crushed up peppermints or candy canes
  • 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. In a double boiler add the 1 1/2 cups of milk chocolate chips, 1 1/2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter and hot chocolate mix. Stir constantly over a medium heat until it becomes smooth and melted.
  • Add two cups of the marshmallows and stir until they are completely melted and mixed together. Remove from the heat. Add in the vanilla and stir once more. Pour and scrape the fudge into the lined baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of marshmallows on top of the fudge and lightly tap them into the fudge. Sprinkle the crushed up Peppermints all over top of the marshmallows. Refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • Melt the 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Add the melted chocolate to a small zip lock bag and set aside. Take the fudge out the fridge and lift the parchment paper up to get the fudge out. Cut the fudge into 12 squares. Cut the tip off the zip lock bag and begin drizzling chocolate over top of the fudge.
  • Place in the fridge for 5 minutes to let the chocolate harden. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Tips and tricks!

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Crush the peppermints with a food processor or carefully crush them up in a zip lock bag.
  • You can carefully drizzle the chocolate over top using a spoon or fork instead of a zip lock bag.
