My fav fudge has nuts in it so this recipe is a winner for me! Oh… & marshmallows… and chocolate ? Delish!

The recipe is from the Eagle Brand website so I knew it would be great!

Here is the link to the recipe: http://www.eaglebrand.com/recipe-detail/chocolatesnowswirlfudge-3970

You are going to want to make this over and over! The Ingredients are Chocolate Chips, a jar of condensed milk, butter, vanilla, walnuts & marshmallows!

NOTE: This fudge would be delish without nuts too so if you don’t like nuts or some has an allergy, leave them out!

Here is the recipe

Ingredients

3 cups of chocolate chips

1 300 ml can sweetened condensed milk

4 tablespoons of butter, you will use this divided

a pinch of salt

11/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup chopped walnuts *** pecans would be good too

2 cup mini marshmallow. ***but I am sure you can use large marshmallows if that is what you have!

Method

You need a square 9×9 dish Line the dish with parchment or wax paper & then spray the paper with cooking spray. TIP: Leave about an inch of an overhang with the paper so it is easy to lift yah fudge out of the pan when you are ready to cut it

  1. Melt the 3 cups of chocolate chips, the can of sweetened condensed milk, 2 tbsp of butter & salt. You can do this in a saucepan over medium heat stirring often or in a microwave on medium heat stirring after every minute until melted. I don’t know how long this will take, it depends on your microwave actually but be careful not to burn this or you will have to start again!
  2. When melted, stir in the vanilla & nuts. Spread evenly into the prepared pan & set aside
  3. now, melt the marshmallows with the remaining 2 tbsp butter. Stir often. When the marshmallows are melted pour them over top of the fudge. Using a knife swirl the marshmallow through the fudge
  4. Chill for at ;east 2 hours in the fridge before cutting. Lift the fudge out of the pan with the overhang you left of parchment paper. Put onto a cutting board & cut into squares. You can cut them into any size squares you like!

Enjoy!
