Chocolate Fudge And Marshmallow Candy
Creamy, rich chocolate fudge with crunchy nuts and sweet marshmallows creates a decadent treat perfect for sharing or gifting during special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate bits, sweetened condensed milk, and margarine in a double boiler.
- Cook over medium heat until all ingredients are melted, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in the nuts and marshmallows until evenly combined.
- Pour the mixture into a buttered 8 x 12-inch pan.
- Refrigerate for several hours until set.
- Cut into 1-inch squares to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. If you're looking for a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts or substitute with sunflower seeds. To ensure even melting, stir frequently and avoid high heat. If you prefer a chewier texture, use mini marshmallows. This candy also pairs beautifully with Grandma B'S Chocolate Pudding Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful chocolate fudge squares as a sweet treat at parties or family gatherings. They pair well with coffee or milk, making them perfect for an afternoon snack. For a more festive touch, consider drizzling melted chocolate on top or sprinkling with sea salt. They also complement the flavors of American recipes, adding a sweet finish to a hearty meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To prevent sticking, layer the squares with parchment paper. If you want to enjoy them warm, microwave for a few seconds until just softened, but be careful not to overheat, as the chocolate can become gooey.
