Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 2 cups White Chocolate Chips
- 1 1/2 cups Mini Marshmallows
- 3/4 cup Dried Cherries
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Baking Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure the fudge bars release easily and hold their shape.
- Melt Butter and White Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the butter and white chocolate chips together, stirring gently until smooth and fully combined.
- Stir in Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Remove the bowl from heat, then stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and glossy.
- Fold in Marshmallows and Dried Cherries: Gently fold the mini marshmallows and dried cherries into the fudge mixture, being careful not to crush the marshmallows.
- Pour Mixture into Pan and Chill: Transfer the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to slice.
- Cut and Serve: Once chilled and set, lift the fudge out using the parchment edges and cut into bars of your preferred size. Store extras in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- Fold marshmallows and cherries gently to maintain their texture.
- Chill the fudge bars at least 2 hours for clean slicing.
- Let bars sit at room temperature a few minutes before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- Slice with a sharp, warmed knife for smooth edges.
