Hot Chocolate Fudge is a rich, creamy, and decadent dessert that brings the flavor of hot cocoa into a no-bake fudge topped with fluffy mini marshmallows.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 25 squares

Ingredients

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 packets hot chocolate mix
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 cups miniature marshmallows (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • For the drizzle: 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. Secure the edges with binder clips and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, hot chocolate mix, and sliced butter.
  3. Microwave the mixture on full power for 1 minute, then stir well. Continue microwaving in 45-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth (about 2 ½ to 3 minutes).
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix in 2 cups of marshmallows.
  5. Microwave for an additional 20-30 seconds and stir to combine.
  6. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth it out with an offset spatula.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of marshmallows over the top, pressing them gently into the fudge.
  8. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
  9. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
  10. For the drizzle, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in the microwave for 30 seconds, stirring until smooth. Drizzle it over the marshmallow-topped fudge.
  11. Let the drizzle harden before slicing the fudge into 25 squares.
