Easy Homemade Rocky Road Fudge (6-Ingredient Recipe)
Rocky Road Fudge has everything you love — creamy, sweet chocolate, pillowy mini marshmallows, and a little bit of crunch from chopped nuts.
Ingredients
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted Butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows divided
- 1 1/4 cups toasted pecans or walnuts coarsely chopped; divided
Instructions
- STEP 1: Prepare the Pan: Line a small square pan (8 x 8 or 9 x 9) with aluminum foil and coat it with cooking spray.
- STEP 2: Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine Chocolate Chips, Sweetened Condensed Milk, and Butter. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until fully melted. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- STEP 3: Add Flavor and Mix: Stir the melted chocolate mixture to ensure it's smooth. Add Vanilla extract and Salt. Stir until everything is well blended. Toss in 1 cup of Marshmallows and 1 cup of Nuts. Stir until they're evenly distributed.
- STEP 4: Pour and Smooth: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
- STEP 5: Top with Marshmallows and Nuts: Sprinkle the remaining Marshmallows and Nuts on top of the fudge. Gently press them into the surface.
- STEP 6: Chill and Serve: Place the fudge in the refrigerator and allow it to set for 2 hours. Once set, cut it into 1-inch squares and serve them at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade Rocky Road Fudge!
Notes
You can use either Pecans or Walnuts, based on your preference or what you have on hand.
To make cutting easier, you can run a sharp knife under hot water before slicing the fudge.
Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
