Follow The Directions

01

Step

Line a 9x13-inch cake pan with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil extends over the edges for easy removal. Coat the foil generously with cooking spray. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. (Cook time: 5-10 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate the fudge layer until firm and set, approximately 2 hours.

04

Step

In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of cold water with the unflavored gelatin. Let it stand until the gelatin begins to thicken, about 15 minutes.

05

Step

In a separate saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. (Cook time: 5-8 minutes).

06

Step

Bring the sugar mixture to a boil and cook until it reaches 240 degrees F (116 degrees C) on a candy thermometer. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat immediately.

07

Step

Slowly pour the hot sugar mixture into the gelatin mixture while simultaneously beating with an electric mixer on low speed. Gradually increase the speed to high and continue beating until the marshmallow batter becomes very thick and glossy, but not stiff. (Mixing time: 10-15 minutes)

08

Step

Pour the marshmallow batter evenly over the chilled fudge layer, smoothing the surface with a spatula coated with cooking spray. Allow the fudge to sit uncovered at room temperature until the marshmallow layer is completely set, which may take around 6 hours.

09

Step

Dust the top of the marshmallow layer generously with most of the confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate the Double-Decker Marshmallow Fudge for at least 2 hours to ensure it is fully set.

10

Step

Lift the fudge out of the pan using the edges of the foil and place it on a large cutting board. Dip a large knife in the remaining confectioners' sugar and slice the fudge into 1 1/2-inch squares, dipping the knife in the sugar after each slice to prevent sticking. Enjoy!

For an even richer fudge, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
Ensure the marshmallow batter is thick enough; otherwise, it will seep into the fudge layer.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, look for the 'soft ball' stage: a small amount of the sugar mixture dropped into cold water should form a soft ball that flattens when removed.
Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

    The marshmallow layer is what sets this fudge apart. It's so much better than store-bought marshmallow fluff.
