Whether you’re a fudge newbie or a seasoned sugar alchemist, this recipe is about to become your new go-to.
What Makes This S’mores Fudge So Addictive?
Let’s break it down. This isn’t your average fudge. We’re talking three glorious layers:
- A buttery graham cracker crust (a must for that nostalgic s’mores crunch)
- A rich, silky chocolate layer
- And the star of the show: a fluffy, gooey, fudge marshmallow topping that mimics toasted mallow goodness—without needing to light anything on fire 🔥
If you’ve been browsing for fudge dessert recipes that go beyond the basic, you’ve hit the jackpot.
How It Comes Together
Here’s the lowdown. You’ll start with the graham cracker base—just three ingredients: crushed grahams, melted butter, and a touch of sugar. Press it into your pan, give it a quick bake, and boom—you’ve nailed the crust.
Next up? The hot fudge layer. Just melt some semisweet chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk (don’t confuse it with evaporated milk, trust me on this), and spread it over your crust. It’s thick, dreamy, and worth licking the spoon.
And finally, the cloud-like fudge marshmallow topping. White chocolate chips + marshmallow fluff + the rest of that sweetened condensed milk = pure joy. Smooth it on top, add a sprinkle of crushed grahams or mini marshmallows if you’re feeling extra, and refrigerate.
Let it chill overnight. (Yes, we know—waiting is the worst. But it’s worth it.)
A Few Smart Tips for Fudge Success
Want your fudge recipes easy marshmallow cream edition to come out perfect every time? Keep these hacks in mind:
- Always use sweetened condensed milk—not evaporated. It’s a common mix-up and will totally wreck the texture.
- Go for a trusted brand like Eagle. Store brands can be hit or miss and may leave your fudge a little off.
- Give your condensed milk a stir before dividing it between layers. It can separate in the can, and we want smooth and creamy across the board.
- Measuring marshmallow fluff = a sticky mess. Use a dry plastic measuring cup and spritz it with nonstick spray. Thank me later.
- Invest in decent chocolate. Doesn’t need to be fancy, but avoid bargain-bin chips. Your fudge marshmellow recipes deserve better.
Make-Ahead Magic
The best part? This smores fudge stores like a dream.
Just slice it into squares once set, pop them in an airtight container, and keep at room temp for up to two weeks. (Although let’s be real—it never lasts that long.)
Want to freeze it? Go for it! Freeze in a single layer first (so the pieces don’t stick together), then stack them with wax paper between each layer. They’ll stay good in the freezer for up to three months. Perfect for sneaky late-night snacks or dessert emergencies. (Those are a thing, right?)
Let’s Talk Flavor
Don’t stop at just one batch. The base of this layered fudge recipe is crazy customizable. Want to make it extra indulgent? Try folding in chopped peanut butter cups. Or maybe swirl in some caramel sauce before the marshmallow topping. If you’re collecting fudge flavor ideas, this is where you let your creativity go wild.
You could even theme it for holidays—peppermint for Christmas, pastel sprinkles for Easter, or crushed Oreos just because you’re feeling extra. There’s a reason this one lands on every fun fudge recipes list—it plays well with whatever you throw at it.

Smores Fudge – Easy Fudge Dessert Recipe with Marshmallow Cream
- Total Time: 8 hours 35 minutes
- Yield: 24 pieces
Description
This crave-worthy fudge brings all the cozy campfire flavor—minus the flames. With a crisp graham cracker base, rich chocolatey middle, and soft, sweet marshmallow topping, these layered treats are everything you love about s’mores… in bite-size, melt-in-your-mouth form.
Ingredients
Graham Cracker Base:
- 4 full graham cracker sheets (about ½ cup or 62g)
- 1 tablespoon white sugar (12g)
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (28g)
Chocolate Layer:
- 1½ cups milk chocolate chips (255g)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (2.3g)
- 7 oz sweetened condensed milk (half of a 14 oz can, 198g)
Marshmallow Topping:
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (170g)
- ½ cup marshmallow fluff (64g)
- 7 oz sweetened condensed milk (198g)
Instructions
1. Prep Your Pan
Start by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a little overhang so you can lift the fudge out later. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Make the Crust
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs (a food processor makes it super easy). Mix in the sugar and melted butter until the texture resembles damp sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your foil-lined pan to create an even layer. Bake it for about 5 minutes, or until it just starts to turn golden around the edges.
3. Stir the Milk
Give your sweetened condensed milk a quick stir in case it separated in the can. Then divide it evenly into two parts for the chocolate and marshmallow layers.
4. Create the Chocolate Fudge Layer
In a small saucepan over low to medium heat, melt the milk chocolate chips with half of the sweetened condensed milk and the vanilla extract. Stir frequently until completely smooth. Once melted, pour it directly over the graham cracker crust and spread evenly with a spatula.
5. Add the Marshmallow Layer
In a separate saucepan, melt the white chocolate chips together with the marshmallow fluff and the remaining half of the sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly over low heat until everything melts together into a creamy, velvety mixture. Carefully pour this over the chocolate layer and smooth the top.
6. Let It Set
Refrigerate your fudge for at least 8 hours—or better yet, overnight—for the best texture. Once firm, lift it out using the foil, peel it away, and slice into squares.
7. Store Smart
Keep your s’mores fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks (if it lasts that long!).
