🍪 How to Make Chocolate Snowswirl Fudge

1. 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. 🍳
2. 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. 🍫
3. 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. ☁️
4. 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.
