Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 teaspoon black food coloring

Instructions

  1. Melt Ingredients: In a heatproof bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and stir occasionally until the chocolate and marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Add the black food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
  2. Chill Until Firm: Pour the melted mixture into a lined or greased pan or mold, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm enough to cut into pieces.

Notes

  • Use a double boiler or microwave in short intervals to melt the ingredients to prevent burning.
  • Adjust the amount of black food coloring to achieve the desired coal-like color.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled or halved depending on your needs.
