Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
3 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup peanuts

Steps:

  • Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper, or line with aluminum foil and lightly grease. Let the edges come up over the sides.
  • Add the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk to a large heatproof bowl. Stir so that the chocolate chips are coated in the sweetened condensed milk.
  • Microwave on medium power for 1 minute, remove from the microwave and stir.
  • Repeat the process until the chocolate is almost melted, then stir until smooth.
  • Stir in the peanuts and marshmallows. Note that if the chocolate is very hot, it can melt the marshmallows. It will still be tasty - but you'll have more swirls of marshmallow.
  • Pour/spoon the mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Let sit until firm, about 2 hours at room temperature or 60 minutes in the fridge.
  • Lift the parchment paper/foil up out of the pan, then cut into pieces.

ROCKY ROAD FUDGE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Rocky Road Fudge Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by dedmund

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter; room temperature plus more for buttering the thermometer and pan
3 3/4 cups granulated sugar
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 1/3 cups toasted slivered almonds
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon table salt

Steps:

  • Lightly butter the face of a candy thermometer and set aside. Put the sugar, cream, chocolate, corn syrup, instant coffee, and salt in a large (4-quart) heavy-duty saucepan and stir with a spoon or heatproof spatula until the ingredients are moistened and combined. Stirring gently and constantly, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, 7 to 12 minutes. Cover the saucepan and let the steam clean the sides of the pan for 2 minutes. Clip the candy thermometer to the pot, being careful not to let the tip of the thermometer touch the bottom of the pot, or you might get a false reading. Let the mixture boil without stirring until it reaches 236°F to 238°F, 2 to 5 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and add the butter, but do not stir it into the mixture. Set the pan on a rack in a cool part of the kitchen. Don't disturb the pan in any way until the mixture has cooled to 110°F, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Meanwhile, line the bottom and sides of an 8x8-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides of the pan. Butter the foil. Set the pan aside. Remove the thermometer from the fudge mixture. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on high speed until it is a few shades lighter in color and thickens enough that the beaters form trails that briefly expose the bottom of the pan as they pass through, 10 to 20 minutes. After beating the fudge, stir 2 cups mini marshmallows and 1-1/3 cups toasted slivered almonds. Pour the thickened fudge into the prepared pan, using a rubber spatula to help nudge it out of the pot. You can scrape the bottom of the pot but not the sides; any crystals that stick to the pot stay in the pot. Smooth the top of the fudge with the spatula. Set the pan on a rack and let the fudge cool completely, about 2 hours. The fudge will be slightly soft the day it's made but will firm up overnight. Turn the fudge out onto a clean cutting board and peel off the foil. Turn the slab of fudge right side up and cut it into 25 equal pieces. The fudge will keep for a week to 10 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips and Conclusion

Achieving that perfect Rocky Road Fudge involves a blend of culinary expertise and thoughtful consideration. Here are some essential tips to elevate your fudge-making prowess:

  • Embrace Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter to ensure a rich and delectable flavor profile.
  • .
  • Master the Melting Technique: Melt the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave or over a double boiler, ensuring a smooth and lump-free mixture. Avoid overheating to prevent seizing.
  • .
  • Incorporate the Extras Wisely: For an authentic Rocky Road experience, choose plump, chewy mini marshmallows and walnuts that are freshly chopped. Add them at the right moment to maintain their integrity and prevent sogginess.
  • .
  • Set the Fudge Correctly: Patience is key when it comes to setting the fudge. Refrigerate it for at least four hours, or overnight for the best results. This allows the flavors to meld and the fudge to achieve its optimal texture.
  • .
  • Cut and Store Mindfully: Once the fudge has set, use a sharp knife to create clean, even cuts. Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
  • .

In conclusion, crafting delectable Rocky Road Fudge is a delightful culinary endeavor that yields a sweet treat perfect for any occasion. With careful attention to ingredient quality, melting technique, and proper refrigeration, you can create a fudge that is both visually appealing and bursting with flavor. So gather your ingredients, embrace the process, and indulge in the timeless goodness of this classic confection.
