Rocky Road Fudge
Description
The Rocky Road Fudge recipe brings together classic ingredients: chocolate chips melted smoothly with condensed milk and enhanced by a hint of vanilla. Adding miniature marshmallows and chopped nuts provides a balance of softness and crunch within the fudge. The preparation uses microwaving for melting, followed by gentle mixing to combine the ingredients without melting the marshmallows completely. Chilling the fudge in a foil-lined pan makes it easy to lift and slice neatly once set. Using an 8"x8" pan yields a thicker fudge, which some prefer for more substantial bites.
The fudge's texture highlights a creamy chocolate base interspersed with chewy and crunchy bits, offering variety in every piece. It can be cut into small squares appropriate for snacking or serving alongside coffee or tea. Adjusting the pan size changes the fudge's thickness, which affects mouthfeel and serving portion.
Choosing your favorite nut—peanuts, pecans, almonds, or walnuts—allows customization of flavor and texture. This recipe is straightforward and suitable for making ahead since refrigeration firms the fudge well. The foil lining helps with easy removal and clean cutting.
Most people are preferring the 8x8 pan for a thicker fudge. Keep that in mind when preparing this recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 ounce sweetened condensed milk can
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup nuts peanuts, pecans, almonds or walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Line an 9"x13" or a 8"x8" (for thicker fudge) pan with foil; coat with cooking spray.
- Place the chocolate chips and condensed milk in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute on High power then stir. If the morsels aren't fully melted and blended, continue microwaving in 15 second intervals. Add in the vanilla extract and stir until smooth. Now add the mini marshmallows and nuts, gently stir to combine.
- Press the fudge into the prepared pan. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Use the foil to lift the fudge out of the pan and cut into bite sized pieces, then serve.
Notes
- Using an 8x8 inch pan produces a thicker fudge, which influences the final texture and portion size.
