Description
Rocky Road Fudge is a decadent treat that combines the rich, creamy texture of melted chocolate with the delightful crunch of walnuts and the fluffy sweetness of mini marshmallows. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of flavors, with the chocolate’s deep sweetness perfectly balanced by the nuttiness and a hint of salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- Chocolate Mixture:
- 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Add-ins:
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
- Optional Toppings:
- Extra mini marshmallows
- Chopped walnuts
- Chocolate drizzle
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and salt.
- Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Allow the mixture to cool for about 3–4 minutes so it’s warm but not hot enough to melt the marshmallows.
- Fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle extra marshmallows and walnuts over the top if desired, gently pressing them into the fudge.
- Refrigerate for 3–4 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm.
- Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into small squares with a sharp knife.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make-ahead: This fudge can be made up to 2 weeks in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Storage: Store the fudge in an airtight container with parchment paper between the layers. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Let frozen fudge thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- Substitutions: Use pecans instead of walnuts for a different nutty flavor, or omit nuts entirely for a nut-free version.
