Serve your Marshmallow Swirl Fudge by cutting it into small squares. You can place the squares on a nice plate for a beautiful presentation. It’s great on its own, but you can also serve it with coffee or hot cocoa for a cozy treat.
How to Store Marshmallow Swirl Fudge

Tips to Make Marshmallow Swirl Fudge
- Use High-Quality Chocolate Chips: Good chocolate will make a big difference in the flavor.
- Don’t Rush the Melting Process: Stir continuously to prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Add Extra Toppings: To enhance the flavor, consider adding nuts or a drizzle of caramel.
Variation
You can customize your fudge by adding ingredients like crushed peppermint candies for a holiday twist or using white chocolate chips instead of semisweet for a different flavor profile.
