Instructions
Grease and 8" x 8" pan with butter and then line with 2 pieces parchment paper that are crisscrossed, leaving an overhang. Butter the paper and set aside pan. This step helps enable you to remove the formed fudge with ease from the pan later on.
Using a medium-large saucepan over medium heat, add 4 tablespoons of butter, 3 cups mini marshmallows, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup heavy cream and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Stir gently until the mini marshmallows are melted, this may take 8-10 minutes.
Remove from heat, add 1 teaspoon Baileys Original Irish Cream, 12 ounces of semi sweet chocolate chip morsels and stir until the chocolate is fully melted and everything is combined. Pour into prepared 8" x 8" pan and gently shake to level out the fudge, after 5 minutes sprinkle optional holiday sprinkles and allow to cool at room temperature for 25 minutes. Cover and transfer to refrigerator and set for 1 hour.
When the fudge is completely set, use the overhang to gently lift the fudge onto a cutting board to cut for serving. Enjoy!
