How to Make Creamy Dark Chocolate Fudge

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, melt 2 cups (12 ounces) of dark chocolate chips, 1 cup (7 ounces) of mini marshmallows, 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, stirring frequently until smooth and melted.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Line an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch square baking pan with wax paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  5. Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan and spread it to the edges.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
  7. Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan using the wax paper overhang.
  8. Peel off the wax paper and cut into squares.
  9. Store loosely covered at room temperature for up to a week (if it lasts that long!).
