What Kind of Chocolate Should I Use?
Semi-sweet chocolate chips are a safe bet for this recipe. They balance the sweetness of the condensed milk and marshmallows while allowing the M&Ms to shine. You can also use milk chocolate if you want a creamier, sweeter finish.
Ingredients for the Chocolate Marshmallow M&M Fudge
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: This is the creamy base that binds everything together. It adds sweetness and ensures the fudge sets without cracking.
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Melts down smooth and adds that rich, chocolaty depth we all love.
- Mini Marshmallows: These give the fudge that irresistible chewy texture and pockets of vanilla sweetness.
- M&Ms: The star of the show! Use regular or mini M&Ms for a vibrant crunch and a pop of color.
- Butter: Helps with the melting process and adds a silky richness.
- Vanilla Extract: Just a splash rounds out the flavor and enhances the chocolate.
How To Make the Chocolate Marshmallow M&M Fudge
Step 1: Prep Your Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate Base
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, and chocolate chips. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Step 3: Fold in the Fun
Let the chocolate mixture cool for a minute or two (so the marshmallows don’t melt completely). Then, fold in the mini marshmallows and about 3/4 of the M&Ms.
Step 4: Spread and Top
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining M&Ms over the top, pressing them gently so they stick.
Step 5: Chill and Slice
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm. Once set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into squares.

How to Store and Serve Chocolate Marshmallow M&M Fudge
Store your fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze it for up to 2 months—just wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag. To serve, let it come to room temperature for that ideal soft bite.
