INGREDIENTS You Need

This Marshmallow Swirl Fudge ingredient list is all about bold flavors that actually work together! Forget boring desserts – we’re making something truly special. You can grab these ingredients during your normal shopping trip.

Here’s what you’ll need:

2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
2/3 cup evaporated milk
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
7 oz marshmallow cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

No worries if you don’t have evaporated milk. I use whole milk all the time in my Marshmallow Swirl Fudge and it works just great. It still creates the creamy texture you are looking for.

This Marshmallow Swirl Fudge gets its amazing taste from the combination of rich chocolate and sweet marshmallow. It’s a classic pairing for a reason!

Here’s my Marshmallow Swirl Fudge secret that takes it from good to incredible: a pinch of sea salt on top. The salt enhances the sweetness and brings out the chocolate flavor. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!

For ingredient prep shortcuts on busy weeknights, measure out all your ingredients ahead of time. Store them in separate containers, so they’re ready to go when you are. So easy!

Store any leftover marshmallow cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for weeks!

I love adding extra vanilla extract to my Marshmallow Swirl Fudge for that extra depth of flavor. It complements the chocolate and marshmallow perfectly. It makes a difference!

Let’s Make Some!

This is my favorite part of making Marshmallow Swirl Fudge – watch the delicious magic happen! I am going to walk you through each step with excitement!

First, grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with butter and line it with parchment paper. This will prevent the fudge from sticking and make it easy to remove later.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the butter is melted.
Bring the mixture to a boil, clip a candy thermometer on and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 235°F (113°C). This usually takes about 10-12 minutes. Be patient and keep stirring! You don’t want it to burn.

In my kitchen, this Marshmallow Swirl Fudge usually takes exactly 11 minutes to reach 235°F. Timing is everything. It’s so important to get this right for perfect fudge!

Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

This is where the magic starts happening! The melted chocolate creates a rich, decadent base for the fudge. Your Marshmallow Swirl Fudge should smell absolutely incredible right now.

Pour half of the chocolate mixture into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of marshmallow cream over the chocolate, then pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the marshmallow cream.
Use a knife or skewer to swirl the marshmallow cream into the chocolate. Don’t overmix! You want to keep the distinct swirls of marshmallow. This will give your Marshmallow Swirl Fudge that beautiful marbled effect.

This is my favorite part of the process. The swirling creates such a cool design. Don’t worry if your Marshmallow Swirl Fudge looks a little messy at this point. It will all come together in the end!

Let the fudge cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

While your Marshmallow Swirl Fudge is doing its thing, get ready for some amazing aromas! The waiting is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s worth it!

Once the fudge is set, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut it into squares and enjoy!

And that’s it! You’ve just made your own Marshmallow Swirl Fudge. It looks incredible, right? Time to share and watch those happy faces light up!

Bold flavor pairings that complement it perfectly? Try serving this Marshmallow Swirl Fudge with a cup of strong coffee or a glass of red wine. The bitterness of the coffee or wine balances the sweetness of the fudge.

I also like to serve it with fresh berries. Strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries add a touch of freshness and acidity that cuts through the richness of the fudge.

How long will the fudge last? This Marshmallow Swirl Fudge will last for up to a week in the refrigerator. Store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh. But let’s be real, it probably won’t last that long!

What’s the best way to cut the fudge? The best way to cut the fudge is to use a warm knife. Run the knife under hot water, then dry it off before cutting. This will help the knife glide through the fudge smoothly.

What is the secret to a creamy fudge? The secret to creamy fudge is to cook the sugar mixture to the correct temperature. If you don’t cook it long enough, the fudge will be too soft. If you cook it too long, the fudge will be grainy. So, use a candy thermometer and aim for 235°F (113°C).
