Rocky Road Fudge is a smooth chocolate fudge packed with crunchy nuts and sweet, chewy marshmallows. This recipe works with any type of nuts, so feel free to use your favorite variety.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 14-oz can condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1,5 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1.25 cup toasted nuts, coarsely chopped

Preparation:

1. Prepare an 8x8 or 9x9 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter. Microwave it in one-minute increments until melted, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Stir to ensure all the chocolate is melted, then add the vanilla and salt. Stir until the candy is smooth and well-mixed. Add 1 cup of the marshmallows and 1 cup of the nuts and stir until well-combined.

4. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup marshmallows and 1/4 cup nuts on top of the fudge and press gently so that they're embedded in the surface.

5. Place the fudge in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours. Once set, cut into 1-inch squares and serve at room temperature. Store excess fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
