Hot Chocolate Fudge

Hot Chocolate Fudge is a delicious Christmas treat! Made with with sweetened condensed milk, hot cocoa mix, chocolate chips and topped with fluffy marshmallows this fudge is perfect for enjoying around the house or gifting to friends and neighbors. 

I love the Christmas season for many reasons: time with family and friends, the decorations, and of course all the festive treats. Some of my favorite holiday treats to that I have to make every year are Peanut Brittle, Chocolate Pretzel Bark, and these Chocolate Peanut Butter Haystacks.

Another thing I love to make at Christmas time is a this Slow Cooker Hot Cocoa. I usually make a big batch and we sip on it while watching our favorite Christmas movie, Christmas Vacation. I think every year I relate to Clark Griswold more and more. But, that’s a story for another time. 

How to make Hot Chocolate Fudge: 

Ingredients: 

• Instant Hot Chocolate Mix
• Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Chocolate Chips
• Mini Marshmallows

Instructions: 

Begin by prepping a 9×9 pan with aluminum foil and then spraying with non-stick cooking spray. Set the pan aside.

 In a mixing bowl whisk together one packet of instant hot chocolate with a can of sweet condensed milk until the mix is completely dissolved.

Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to hot chocolate mixture. Stir the chocolate chips in to coat then place the bowl  in the microwave. Heat for sixty-seconds then stir. Continue heating the mixture in 30 second intervals stirring in between until chips are completely melted.

Pour the chocolate in the foil lined pan. Gently press the marshmallows into the chocolate mixture.

Then place in the refrigerator for four hours or until it is firm. Cut into squares and enjoy!
