• 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

2. Combine the marshmallows and chocolate chips in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Place the butter, milk, sugar, cinnamon, cayenne and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil. Continue to let the candy boil, stirring constantly, for five minutes.
5. Remove from the heat. Stir in the marshmallows, chocolate chips, and vanilla, mixing until well-combined.

This was the easiest fudge I have ever made & by far the best. The cinnamon is a wonderful addition & goes well with marshmallow. I have ditched my Joy of Cooking recipe & candy thermometer for this one! For more kick I doubled the pepper which I substituted with chipotle. Nice & hot! (I also omitted the abuelita.) Thanks for posting this!
