Dark Chocolate Marshmallow Nut Fudge Bars
These Dark Chocolate Marshmallow Nut Fudge Bars are a sweet, crunchy, and creamy treat perfect for any occasion!
Servings: 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 20 vanilla wafers crushed
- 1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup miniature marshmallows
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips can be replaced with chocolate or butterscotch chips
- 1/3 cup pecans chopped (or walnuts, almonds, or any nut you like)
Instructions
- Begin by lining your 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- In a double boiler, combine the bittersweet chocolate chips and evaporated milk. Stir gently until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, crispy rice cereal, and powdered sugar. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Once the chocolate is melted, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is thoroughly coated in chocolate.
- Gently fold in the miniature marshmallows, peanut butter chips, and chopped nuts of your choice. Be careful not to break the marshmallows too much.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, pressing down gently to ensure it holds together.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut into bars.
- Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Cut into squares or bars and enjoy your delightful creation!
