Hot Chocolate Fudge
Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of milk chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups of semi sweet chocolate chips
- 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tbsp of unsalted butter
- ½ cup of hot chocolate mix around 4 packages
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 3 cups of mini marshmallows divided
- ½ cup of crushed up peppermints or candy canes
- ½ cup of semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line an 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 medium heat until smooth and melted.
- Add 2 cups of the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and combined. 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 peppermints all over the 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 of the fridge and lift the parchment paper to remove it. Cut the fudge into 12 squares. Cut the tip off the ziplock bag and begin drizzling chocolate over the top of the fudge.
- Place in the fridge for 5 minutes to let the chocolate harden. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Tips, Tricks & Storage
- Use Good Chocolate: Fudge is all about flavor and texture, so use good-quality chocolate chips and hot chocolate. You can also carefully drizzle the chocolate over the top using a spoon or fork, rather than using a zip-lock bag.
- Don't Rush the Melt: Melt everything slowly over low heat so the mixture stays silky and smooth. High heat can make the chocolate grainy or burn it.
- Crush the Peppermint: Crush the peppermints or candy canes with a food processor or carefully break them up in a zip-lock bag.
- Storage: Store your fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. It also freezes well for up to three months. Just thaw it in the fridge before serving.
