| Active: | 20 min |
| Yield: | 25 squares |
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup halved walnuts, toasted
- Flakey salt, for garnish
- Sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper to overhang the edges by an inch.
- Whisk the sugar and cocoa together in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the milk until smooth. Set the pot over medium heat, stirring to keep the mixture smooth, and bring to boil. Continue to boil, stirring the edges to keep from burning, until the mixture reaches 220 degrees F, about 60 seconds. (The mixture should be thick, smooth and glossy, not crystallized.) Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt, beating until smooth. Add the peanut butter and stir in, leaving pockets of peanut buttery goodness intact if desired. Let cool until warm but still stirrable, about 5 minutes. (You want the mixture to be soft enough that you can stir in the walnuts and marshmallows, but not so hot that the marshmallows melt entirely.)
- Stir in the marshmallows and walnuts. Spread the mixture in the prepared pan and add the flakey salt and sprinkles. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut into squares to serve. (To store, refrigerate in a covered container with parchment between the layers.)

Reviews
I also had difficulty with this recipe. My fudge did not set up. I used Dutch-processed cocoa powder and a candy thermometer. I am disappointed because the flavor of this mixture is beyond yummy! I just can’t figure out what went wrong.
mine was too sweet and it is really gooey after a little time out of the fridge.
I will try again with less sugar and buy a new candy thermometer.
I will try again with less sugar and buy a new candy thermometer.
Mine comes out perfect every time. Make sure to use Dutch processed cocoa powder
Delicious! And mine did solidify no problem. Candy thermometer really helped I think
Did not solidify. Disappointed.
This is delicious however mine also did not solidify. We are trying to harden the chocolate up in the freezer now so we can eat it otherwise we will be spooning ours over ice cream as well.
This is delicious, however, I messed it up, it didn’t solidify . I either didn’t boil it enough or my thermometer wasn’t right. So, later I warmed some in the microwave and put it on ice cream, wow! I’m still going to try it again.
