Ingredients
Instructions
- In a double boiler, heat chocolate chips, water, and vanilla until melted.
- In a separate container, sift together the flour and soda.
- In another bowl, blend shortening, egg, and brown sugar with a spoon.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the shortening mixture.
- Add the melted chocolate into the mixture and blend well.
- Take frozen marshmallows and wrap dough around each one, one at a time.
- Place the wrapped marshmallows on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 5 to 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of regular ones. If you want a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the shortening with unsweetened applesauce. Ensure the dough is well-chilled before wrapping the marshmallows to prevent stickiness. For a festive touch, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
Serving Suggestions
These Fudge-Y-Mallows are delightful on their own but can be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. They also make a playful addition to a dessert platter alongside other treats like Butter Crunch Candy Bars or M&M Brownies. Serve warm for the best gooey experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for a week. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warm and gooey. Avoid microwaving as it can make them tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of marshmallows?
Absolutely! You can use mini marshmallows for smaller bites or flavored marshmallows for a fun twist. Just ensure they are frozen before wrapping to maintain their shape during baking.
What can I substitute for shortening?
If you prefer not to use shortening, you can substitute it with an equal amount of unsalted butter or coconut oil. This will slightly alter the texture but still yield delicious results.
How do I know when they are done baking?
The Fudge-Y-Mallows are done when the dough is lightly golden and firm to the touch. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary slightly based on your oven.
