What makes this recipe so unique?
The marshmallow fluff is what gives this delight its gooey and fudgy texture. We added vanilla extract for that sweet aroma. It is a classic and simple recipe that moms prepared for us, and we eagerly waited for the mixture to set.
Can I substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips?
Yes, you can go with the chocolate that suits your refined taste. Feel free to opt for milk chocolate for that velvety touch. Or go with white chocolate for a slightly different flavor. For a rich and intense flavor, dark chocolate would be ideal.
What can I add to enhance the flavor?
The rich and gooey chocolate fudge can be complemented with various flavors. Add orange peel for that zesty touch. We like adding peppermint extract and crushed candy cane to prepare a holiday version of this treat. Folding in crushed Oreos is another way to enhance the recipe, adding crunch and flavor. You can also fold in some chocolate chips for that nice contrast in color. A pinch of coffee will highlight the chocolate flavor without making it taste like coffee.
Throw in some chopped nuts or caramel melts to create your version.
