Ingredients You’ll Need

45-50 pieces Dove Dark Chocolate Silky Smooth Promises, approximately 1 and 1/3 bags: Dove Dark Chocolate Silky Smooth Promises provide the chocolate base and melt into a glossy, rich fudge — they define the deep chocolate flavor here.
114 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk: can sweetened condensed milk acts as the sweet, creamy binder that gives the fudge its dense, settable texture and glossy finish.
1 cup graham cracker pieces, chopped: graham cracker pieces add the crunchy, toasty s’mores contrast — chop them small so they distribute evenly through the fudge.
1 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows: miniature marshmallows create soft, gooey pockets throughout the fudge that mimic the melty marshmallow of a s’more.

How to Make Smores Fudge

In a large heavy saucepan over low heat, combine the Dove Dark Chocolate Silky Smooth Promises and the can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously over low heat until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth; remove from heat immediately once smooth. Do not leave the pan unattended while melting.
Off the heat, stir in the chopped graham cracker pieces and the miniature marshmallows until evenly distributed through the chocolate mixture.
Pour the chocolate mixture into an 8″ pan that has been lined with foil, spreading it evenly so the graham and marshmallows are distributed across the surface.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm, then lift the foil from the pan and cut the fudge into squares. Store leftover fudge in the fridge.

Melting Chocolate Gently

Low, gentle heat and steady stirring are the keys to a smooth, glossy fudge base. The chocolate and sweetened condensed milk must be brought together slowly so the mixture doesn’t seize or burn.

Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to distribute heat evenly.
Stir constantly and remove from heat as soon as the mixture is smooth.
Do not leave the saucepan unattended while melting.

Texture and Chill Time

Chill the poured fudge in an 8″ pan lined with foil for at least 2-3 hours until it firms up. Shorter chill time will yield a softer square; longer (overnight) makes a firmer, denser bite.

2–3 hours: set but slightly tender.
Overnight: firmer, easier to slice cleanly.
If using a larger pan, expect thinner pieces and shorter chill times; a smaller pan yields thicker, denser squares.

Best Mix-ins & Swaps

Keep the same overall proportions but swap or add a few elements to vary the flavor — simple changes make big differences without changing the method.

Swap the dark Promises for milk chocolate for a sweeter, creamier fudge.
Stir in 1/4–1/2 cup chopped nuts for crunch (pecans or walnuts work well).
Finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt on top, or top with toasted miniature marshmallows after chilling for added caramelized flavor.

Tips for Success

Stir continuously: Keep the heat low and stir constantly while melting the chocolate and sweetened condensed milk to prevent scorching; never leave the pan unattended.

Use the right pan: Line an 8″ pan with foil for easy removal; lightly grease the foil if you want the pieces to release even more cleanly.

Chill for clean slices: If you want cleaner edges, chill the fudge longer or run a sharp knife under hot water, dry it, and make swift single cuts between warmings.

Keep leftovers cool: Store leftover squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator to preserve texture and prevent the marshmallows from becoming sticky.
