Line a square tin (24cm x 5cm, 9" x 2") with baking/parchment paper, leaving a 1-2cm overhang on all 4 sides (Note 5)
Add milk chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and butter to a large heatproof jug.
Microwave the ingredients on high for 2 mins. Remove jug, place on heatproof surface and stir.
Return jug to microwave and heat on high for a further minute.
Remove jug from microwave, place on heatproof surface and stir till consistently combined (Note 6)
Add mini marshmallows to wet fudge and stir till the marshmallows are mixed in and covered by the chocolate.
Transfer wet fudge to lined cake/slice tin and place in fridge till set (minimum 1 hr)
Remove from fridge, place on bench for 10 mins, then use a sharp knife to cut into pieces

Note 1 You can use chocolate melts, chocolate bits or a block of cooking chocolate broken into pieces. Ensure you measure it using kitchen scales or purchase exact quantity ie 500 grams.
Note 2 This is 1 standard tin of sweetened condensed milk. I use a spoon to scrape out as much as I can when adding it to the chocolate mix as it is quite thick and tends to 'stick' to the inside of the tin.
Note 3 After you have weighed the butter to ensure the correct amount, use a knife and chopping board to cut it into small cubes. It will melt and mix easier this way (see photo in step by step instructions)
Note 4 I used 1 whole packet of mini marshmallows which measures 2 cups or 100grams. These are perfect and so easy to use as you don't have to chop them! You simply add them in and then stir to combine.
Note 5 The overhang is so that when the fudge is set, you have something to 'grab' hold of and pull up towards you, lifting the set block of fudge out of the tin.
Note 6 When stirring the fudge in the final period, ensure that the butter is fully melted and mixed in consistently with the other ingredients. If there are any globs of unmelted butter, keep stirring as the heat from the chocolate will further melt them with a couple more stirs.
