# What You'll Need:

→ Fudge Base

01 - 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
02 - 1.5 cups milk chocolate chips
03 - 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
04 - 2.55 ounces hot chocolate mix (3 envelopes, 0.85 ounces each)
05 - 4 tablespoons salted butter, sliced into pats
06 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
07 - 2 cups miniature marshmallows

→ Topping

08 - 2 cups miniature marshmallows

→ Chocolate Drizzle

09 - 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 - 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper leaving a slight overhang; secure edges with binder clips to prevent folding. Lightly spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - Place semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, hot chocolate mix, and butter pats in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
03 - Microwave at full power for 1 minute, stir well, then continue heating in 45-second increments, stirring after each until smooth and fully melted, approximately 2.5 to 3 minutes.
04 - Stir in vanilla extract until fully blended. Add 2 cups of miniature marshmallows and mix well.
05 - Microwave the mixture for 20 to 30 seconds and stir 2 to 3 times to soften the marshmallows.
06 - Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly using an offset spatula.
07 - Evenly sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of miniature marshmallows on the fudge surface and gently press to adhere.
08 - Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firmly set.
09 - Once set, remove binder clips and lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang onto a cutting board.
10 - In a microwave-safe bowl, heat semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth.
11 - Drizzle the melted chocolate over the marshmallow topping. Allow to set before cutting into a 5 by 5 grid using a sharp knife. Store chilled until serving.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Securing parchment with binder clips prevents paper from folding onto the fudge as it sets.
