- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3.5 oz mini marshmallows 2 cups
- 3.5 oz pecans 1 cup - chopped

Instructions
- Get prepped: Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- Melt chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.
- Add flavoring: Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Fold in mix-ins: Let mixture cool for 2-3 minutes so marshmallows don’t melt completely. Gently fold in 3.5 oz mini marshmallows and 3.5 oz pecans.
- Chill: Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan. Top with extra marshmallows and pecans , press gently in. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy.
Notes
- Let the chocolate cool slightly before adding marshmallows to keep them from melting.
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture.
- Line the pan with parchment for easy removal.
- Cut fudge with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean edges.
- For extra flair, drizzle with melted white chocolate before chilling.
- Use a metal stirrer vs wood (wood can retain water, and cause your chocolate to seize)
