Ingredients:
- 3 cups (510g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 packets (110g) hot cocoa mix
- 1/4 cup (25g) unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup (56g) unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup (50g) mini marshmallows
Instructions:
- Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an inch of overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a small bowl, sift together the dry hot cocoa mix and the unsweetened cocoa powder until no lumps remain.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or large microwave-safe glass bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cubed butter, and chocolate chips.
- Heat on low, stirring constantly, until the mixture is glossy and smooth. Remove from heat and allow the residual warmth to finish melting the chocolate.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, sea salt, and the sifted cocoa powder mixture until the fudge is glossy and smooth.
- Let the mixture sit for about 1 minute so it isn't scorching hot. Fold in half of the mini marshmallows — they will melt slightly, creating white streaks of sweetness.
- Transfer the fudge into your prepared pan, smoothing the top with your spatula. The surface should look like polished dark marble.
- Press the remaining mini marshmallows into the top of the fudge while it is still warm so they adhere properly.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before lifting the parchment sling and slicing into 36 squares.
