How to Make the Recipe

5. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
6. In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
7. Now, take half of the marshmallow mixture and swirl in the melted chocolate to create a marbled effect.
8. Spread the marshmallow mixture into a greased 9×9 inch pan, alternating between the plain and chocolate-marshmallow mixtures to achieve that stunning marbling.
9. Let it set at room temperature for at least 4 hours or until firm.
