Notes
This makes a big batch, 5 pounds of fudge! At Christmas time, I often make a few batches of this. I cut it in pieces and put it on a pretty holiday plate and give as a holiday gift! By the way if you like nuts, you can add  1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans right after add the vanilla.  Fold  in nuts and then pour into prepared pan.Â

Made this yesterday.. Totally awesome! And I can’t have chocolate! BUT had to give it a taste.
Set up perfect!
Where in this recipe do you add the 4 cups of mini marshmallows? Or was that ingredient a typo?
Hi Mary. You just add them in with the chocolate chips. -Amy
