The key to this fudge recipe is that little sprinkle of flaky sea salt on the top right as it cools. This freezes very well. Sarah and I wrap 2- to 4-piece bundles in plastic wrap and pull them out when we are feeling like a quick sweet snack. These are fantastic frozen right out of the freezer, too.

Directions
Special equipment:
an instant-read or candy thermometer
Make sure you have an instant-read thermometer or candy thermometer before beginning. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line with two long strips of parchment paper, overlapping to make a parchment sling. Grease the parchment.
In a large saucepan, place the brown sugar, evaporated milk, butter and 1 cup room-temperature mini marshmallows. Set over medium heat and bring to a light boil, stirring constantly. The goal is to bring the mixture to 235 degrees F, or the “softball” stage. This can take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Check frequently.
Once you hit 235 degrees F, immediately add the chocolate and stir until melted. Take off the heat and stir in the lightly crushed toasted almonds.
Pour half of the fudge into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle over 1/2 cup frozen mini marshmallows. Pour the remaining fudge into the pan and top with the whole toasted almonds, remaining 1/2 cup frozen marshmallows and a sprinkling of flaky salt.
Let cool for at least 2 hours or up to 3 hours. Take out of the baking pan using the parchment, then cut and serve.
