Ingredients

• Nonstick cooking spray, for preparing the pan
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• One 7-ounce jar marshmallow cream (such as Fluff)
• 1/4 cup malted milk powder (such as Ovaltine)
• 1 cup malted milk balls (such as Whoppers), crushed
• 1 pint vanilla ice cream, to serve

Special Equipment: candy thermometer

Instructions

1. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper, allowing the paper to overhang all sides for easy removal of the fudge. This simple step ensures perfect, mess-free slices every time!
2. In a large saucepan over high heat, combine sugar, butter, cream, vanilla, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then continue cooking until it reaches 240F on a candy thermometer, approximately 4 minutes. Watch the magic as it transforms into silky perfection.
3. While the sugar mixture is heating, place the milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream, and malted milk powder into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the hot sugar syrup and mix until fully incorporated. Creamy, dreamy fudge awaits!
4. Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, gently tapping the pan to level the fudge. Sprinkle the crushed malted milk balls evenly over the surface, pressing them lightly into the fudge for that irresistible crunch.
5. Refrigerate until the fudge is completely set, about 3 hours. Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares. Your kitchen will smell like heaven!
6. Serve alongside vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat that melts in your mouth. Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container and indulge whenever the craving hits.
