How to make hot cocoa fudge

Before you start to make this hot chocolate fudge recipe, you'll need to line a 9 by 9 inch pan with parchment paper.

Pour sweetened condensed milk into a small sauce pan, over low heat. Then whisk in the cocoa powder.

Next, stir chocolate chips into the saucepan and continue to whisk until the ingredients are well combined. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

Pour the fudge mixture into the parchment lined pan. Top the fudge mixture with the marshmallow bits. Make sure to press these into the chocolate or they will not stay on after the fudge has cooled.

Cover the fudge with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for three hours or until it has become solid. When it is done setting, cut it into 12 equal sized pieces and serve.

Variations   

You can change the flavor of the fudge by using dark chocolate chips. I prefer the flavor of milk chocolate, but if you prefer dark chocolate, you can use that.
