🍪 How to Make Chocolate Snowswirl Fudge
- Prepare Pan
Line an 8- or 9-inch square pan with wax paper, ensuring the paper extends over the edges. Coat with no-stick cooking spray. 🍳 - Make Chocolate Layer
In a heavy saucepan, combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, 2 tablespoons butter and salt. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and nuts. Spread evenly in prepared pan. 🍫 - Make Marshmallow Layer
In a separate medium saucepan, melt the miniature marshmallows with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over low heat. Spread on top of chocolate layer. Swirl marshmallow into chocolate with knife or spatula. ☁️ - Chill & Cut
Chill at least 2 hours or until firm. Remove from pan by lifting edges of wax paper. Cut into squares. 🔪
💡 Tips for Success
- Low Heat is Key: When melting chocolate and marshmallows, always use low heat and stir constantly to prevent scorching.
- Don’t Over-Swirl: Gentle swirls create the best marbled effect. Over-swirling can mix the layers too much.
- Wax Paper for Easy Removal: The wax paper lining makes it incredibly easy to lift the fudge out of the pan for cutting.
🆘 Fudge Troubleshooting Guide
- Problem: Fudge is grainy or doesn’t melt smoothly.
- Likely Cause: Overheating or not stirring enough.
- Solution: Ensure you cook over low heat and stir constantly until just melted and smooth.
- Problem: Marshmallow layer is too sticky or hard to spread.
- Likely Cause: Marshmallows were overcooked or not melted with enough butter.
- Solution: Melt marshmallows over low heat with the specified butter until just smooth. Work quickly to spread.
- Problem: Swirls are not distinct.
- Likely Cause: Over-swirling or not enough contrast between layers.
- Solution: Use a knife or spatula to make only a few gentle swirls. The goal is a marbled look, not fully mixed.
