Easy Fudge Recipe
How to Make Hot Cocoa Fudge
This is a brief overview of how to make this delicious fudge recipe. For the full recipe with all of the measurements, see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder. Whisk them together in a sauce pan over medium low heat.
- Stir in the chocolate chips. Allow them to melt being careful not to overheat the chocolate. It should be smooth, and if it begins to turn grainy the heat was too high or it was cooked too long. Add the vanilla extract.
- Pour the mixture into the pan. Press the marshmallow bits into the fudge. Allow the fudge to set completely before cutting.
Tips and Tricks
- Keep the heat on the chocolate low. Fudge tends to not work out when the chocolate gets overheated. If your chocolate is overheated, it will turn grainy.
- Use hot cocoa mix. If you have it on hand, you can swap the cocoa powder for actual cocoa mix. It will work great in this.
- Use mini marshmallows. If you can’t find the marshmallow bits, you can top with mini marshmallows, but you will only need about half a cup.
- Double check that you have sweetened condensed milk. Evaporated milk is sold right next to the sweetened condensed milk and one is easily mistaken for the other. Evaporated milk will absolutely not work in this recipe.
Marshmallow Bits
Storing
Store Hot Cocoa Fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. This fudge freezes really well. You can freeze it in a single layer for two hours and then transfer it to an airtight container that can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.
