Why You’ll Love This Chocolate Marshmallow M&M Fudge

This fudge brings together childhood nostalgia and adult-level dessert cravings. It’s creamy, chewy, chocolate-loaded, and has a playful texture from the mini marshmallows and M&Ms. Plus, it keeps well in the fridge, making it the ultimate make-ahead treat.

Do I Have to Use Mini Marshmallows and M&Ms?

Ingredients for the Chocolate Marshmallow M&M Fudge

This recipe comes together with pantry staples and a few fun extras. Each ingredient has a role in building the perfect fudge texture and flavor.

• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• Mini Marshmallows
• M&Ms
• Unsalted Butter
• Vanilla Extract
• Salt

The sweetened condensed milk gives the fudge its creamy sweetness without the need for extra sugar. Semi-sweet chocolate chips balance richness and sweetness perfectly. Mini marshmallows soften and stretch in the mix, giving bites a soft chew. M&Ms add crunch and color. A bit of butter makes the fudge silky, vanilla extract deepens the flavor, and a pinch of salt brings out all the sweetness.

How To Make the Chocolate Marshmallow M&M Fudge

Step 1: Prep the Pan

Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving some overhang for easy lifting. Lightly grease it to ensure nothing sticks.

Step 2: Melt the Base

In a saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and chocolate chips. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely smooth and glossy.

Step 3: Stir in the Flavor

Remove the pan from heat. Add vanilla extract and salt. Stir gently to incorporate.

Step 4: Fold in the Fun

Let the chocolate cool just slightly, then fold in the mini marshmallows and about two-thirds of the M&Ms. Mix just enough to distribute them evenly without melting the marshmallows.

Step 5: Pour and Top

Pour the fudge mixture into your prepared pan, smoothing it out with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining M&Ms over the top and press them in gently.

Step 6: Chill to Set

Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours or until firm. Once set, lift it out and cut into small squares.

Storing and Serving This Fudge Delight

This recipe makes around 25 small squares, perfect for sharing or freezing. Once sliced, keep the fudge in an airtight container. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for 2 months. If frozen, let it thaw in the fridge before serving.
