Tips & Variations

  • Use marshmallow fluff instead of mini marshmallows for creamy, smooth swirls that hold their shape.
  • For an extra fun twist, sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top to create s’mores fudge.
  • If you like toasted marshmallows, lightly torch the top after swirling for a caramelized flavor.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute with dairy-free chocolate and coconut condensed milk.
  • Add ½ cup chopped dark chocolate before swirling for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Mix in crushed cookies or chopped nuts to add crunch to your fudge.
  • Create a graham cracker crust for a full s’mores experience by pressing crumbs into the base before pouring the fudge.

Storage

Store your fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze fudge for up to three months and thaw in the refrigerator before serving.

FAQs

Can I use mini marshmallows instead of marshmallow fluff?

Mini marshmallows tend to melt and lose their shape in fudge, resulting in less defined swirls. Marshmallow fluff is smoother and holds beautiful, creamy ribbons throughout.

How do I get clean cuts on my fudge squares?

Make sure your fudge is fully chilled and firm, then use a sharp knife to cut. Wiping the knife clean between cuts helps keep edges neat and clean.
