Ingredients
  

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup shelled salted pistachios, roughly chopped

1/2 cup mini marshmallows (optional for extra fluffiness)

Sea salt for sprinkling

Parchment paper (for lining)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later. This ensures clean edges and easy serving.

    Melt the Fudge Base: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until melted and smooth, ensuring not to burn the mixture.

      Add Flavor and Texture: Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If you desire a fluffier texture, fold in the mini marshmallows at this stage until just combined.

        Incorporate the Pistachios: Gently fold in the chopped salted pistachios into the chocolate mixture, ensuring they are well distributed.

          Transfer to the Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Lightly press down on top to ensure it’s tightly packed.

            Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top of the fudge for added flavor and to enhance the decadence.

              Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until set completely. This will help the fudge bars hold their shape upon cutting.

                Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into squares or bars, as preferred.

                  Enjoy: Serve these decadent salted pistachio fudge bars chilled or at room temperature for a rich treat!
