Instructions

Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving excess hanging over the edges to allow easy removal later. Lightly spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the fudge from sticking.
Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir frequently for 5 to 7 minutes until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Pour and Swirl Marshmallow: Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Dollop the marshmallow creme on top and gently swirl it through the chocolate using a knife to create a marbled effect.
Melt Decorative Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the colored candy melts or white chocolate chips by heating for about 30 seconds, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the fudge and swirl again lightly with a knife to add a decorative finish.
Chill Fudge: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm and set to the touch.
Serve: Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into 16 squares and serve at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use non-stick spray on parchment paper to ensure easy removal of fudge.
Do not substitute evaporated milk for sweetened condensed milk as it will alter the flavor and texture.
The marshmallow creme swirl adds a creamy texture and sweetness; substitute with Fluff if unavailable.
Colored candy melts are optional but add a festive visual appeal; white chocolate chips work as a suitable alternative.
Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Allow fudge to come to room temperature before serving for optimal softness and flavor release.
