Ingredients & Prep

3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (high-quality for best flavor)
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
½-1 cup marshmallow fluff (adjust for swirl intensity)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Dollop marshmallow fluff over surface, then swirl gently with knife tip for marbled effect—avoid overmixing to preserve swirls.
