Rocky Road Fudge Recipe
Making homemade fudge is something I do pretty often. My family loves fudge and over the years I have come up with some great “no fail” fudge recipes, like this particular recipe for Rocky Road Fudge. If you don’t like nuts in your fudge, you can certainly omit them. Matter of fact, my sister doesn’t use the nuts and will substitute with raisins when she makes it.

Total time:
This is a really easy recipe to prepare.
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts, finely chopped
- In a large saucepan, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk over medium heat, stirring frequently until mixture is melted and smooth. Stir in the pure vanilla extract, miniature marshmallows and the finely chopped walnuts until everything is well blended together. Lightly spray a 13″ by 9″ glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the fudge mixture into the dish and let it cool for 1 hour before cutting it into 2″ squares.
Fudge Making Tips: I find that using a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula when stirring my fudge mixture gives me better results, not sure why though. In addition, once your fudge is cooled and firm…it can be frozen for later use. I freeze mine for up to 1 month and then thaw at room temperature. For a fun twist around various holidays, you can make it using miniature colored marshmallows. During the springtime we use pastel colored marshmallows which the kids love.
