Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 3 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 fluid ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • <b>Before you start</b>
  • Be sure an adult is nearby to help.
  • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, gently pressing the foil into the corners and letting the foil hang over the sides.
  • Soak a paper towel with the vegetable oil and use it to rub over the foil.
  • Set aside 1/2 cup of the mini marshmallows and 1/2 cup of the walnuts.
  • <b>Melt the chocolate</b>
  • Put the chocolate chips and condensed milk in a microwavable bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir with a rubber spatula. If the chips are not melted, return to the microwave 1 or 2 times for 30 seconds each, stirring after each time, just until the chocolate is melted. Do not let the chocolate get too hot.
  • <b>Mix the ingredients</b>
  • Using the rubber spatula, gently stir the vanilla extract, 3 cups of the marshmallows and 1 1/2 cups of the walnuts into the chocolate mixture. Using the spatula, scrape the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan. Spread it out evenly and smooth the top.
  • <b>Decorate and chill</b>
  • Sprinkle the fudge with the reserved marshmallows and walnuts and gently press them into the surface. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
  • Lift the foil to remove the fudge from the pan and peel away the foil. Cut the fudge into 16 pieces. Makes 16 squares.
