Five Minute Chocolate Fudge
Rich, creamy, and indulgent, this Five Minute Chocolate Fudge blends chocolate chips, marshmallows, pecans, sugar, and butter into a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth treat made in minutes.
12 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ¾ cup evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 large marshmallows
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the butter, evaporated milk, and sugar. Whisk frequently to ensure the mixture blends smoothly while coming to a boil.
- Once boiling, continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the sugar to dissolve completely.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the marshmallows and chocolate chips, stirring continuously until both have melted into a uniform mixture.
- Incorporate the vanilla extract and chopped pecans, mixing gently until evenly distributed.
- Lightly butter a 9x9-inch baking dish. Pour the hot fudge mixture into the dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place in the refrigerator until the fudge is set and firm.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
To prepare this fudge gluten-free, ensure the marshmallows, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract are certified gluten-free, as some brands may contain trace gluten or be processed in facilities with cross-contamination. The remaining ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
