Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 cup margarine
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (like Eagle Brand)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, margarine, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. This step ensures that your fudge will have a rich, creamy texture.
-
Mix Nuts and Marshmallows: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts and mini marshmallows. This combination will add a delightful crunch and sweetness to your fudge.
-
Combine Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the nut and marshmallow blend. Stir gently but thoroughly until the nuts and marshmallows are evenly coated with the chocolate.
-
Spread and Chill: Line a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with wax paper. Spread the fudge mixture evenly in the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure an even layer.
-
Let It Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm and set. This step is crucial for the fudge to hold its shape when cut.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the fudge is set, lift it out of the pan using the edges of the wax paper. Cut into squares and enjoy! This delicious treat is perfect for sharing with family and friends at your next gathering.
