Ingredients
– 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
– 1/4 cup butter (salted)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups miniature marshmallows
– 1 cup salted peanuts (substitutes include almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
Instructions
1-Getting started with Rocky Road Fudge is straightforward, and the whole process takes about 10 minutes of active time. Begin by combining the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a medium glass bowl for easy melting. This method ensures a smooth mixture without any lumps, making your fudge irresistibly creamy.
2-Heat the mixture in the microwave for 90 seconds, then stir until it’s smooth and well combined. If it needs more time, add another 15 seconds, but be careful not to overheat. Once smooth, stir in the vanilla extract, followed by the marshmallows and peanuts for that classic mix of textures. Pour everything onto a tray lined with parchment paper, spreading it to about 1-inch thickness, and let it chill in the refrigerator until firm.
3-After mixing, slice the chilled fudge into squares for serving. This fudge stores well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks, giving you plenty of time to enjoy it. Remember, chilling for several hours helps it set properly, so patience is key for the best results.
