Equipment

Large Bowl
square baking dish

Ingredients

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
3 tbsp. unsalted butter
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup hot chocolate mix two packets
2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 cups miniature marshmallows

Instructions

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
Add the chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk.
Heat on 30 second increments, stirring well in between, until melted.
Add the hot chocolate mix and vanilla, and stir well to combine.
Fold in half of the miniature marshmallows.
Pour the fudge mixture into the baking dish, and smooth out evenly.
Top with remaining marshmallows, pressing the marshmallows gently into the fudge.
Chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or over night.
Cut into squares and enjoy.

Notes

Pour the fudge mixture into an 8x8 square pan lined with parchment paper or wax paper, smoothing it out with an offset spatula for an even layer.

Press regular mini marshmallows or dehydrated marshmallows lightly into the top layer to keep them in place.

Allow at least 4 hours of chilling in the refrigerator for the best firm texture. For faster setup, place the pan in the freezer for 1-2 hours.
Store leftovers in an airtight container.
