NO-BAKE ROCKY ROAD BARS

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield about 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces cream cheese
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup toasted, chopped pecans
1 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
8 full graham crackers (1 sleeve), broken into chunks
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
One 16-ounce jar marshmallow creme, such as Marshmallow Fluff

Steps:

  • For the bars: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment so that the edges fold over the sides of the pan. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and butter to a medium pot and place over low heat. Cook, whisking occasionally so the bottom does not brown, until melted and well combined, a few minutes.
  • Put the pecans, walnuts, graham crackers and marshmallows in a bowl; set aside.
  • When the cream cheese mixture has melted, whisk until well combined, and then remove from the heat. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the graham cracker mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place in the fridge for 1 to 1 1/2 hours to set.
  • For the quick marshmallow frosting: In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter until creamy, a couple of minutes. Beat in the marshmallow creme.
  • Remove the set mixture from the pan. Cut into squares and frost with or dip in the marshmallow frosting. Keep refrigerated.

EASY, NO BAKE ROCKY ROAD FUDGE (ALSO GF)



Easy, No Bake Rocky Road Fudge (Also Gf) image

This is a recipe I found in a Pampered Chef cookbook while looking for good things for my mom (who had been recently diagnosed with a wheat allergy) to eat. This recipe is simple, fast, and really pleases a chocolate-loving crowd. I usually use fewer marshmallows than the recipe actually calls for b/c I don't care for them very much, but nobody has ever complained when I don't. :D

Time 10m

Yield 36 squares, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 (10 ounce) package miniature marshmallows

Steps:

  • Combine the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter in a double boiler. Cook over boiling water until blended, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. *I sometimes melt the chips and butter in the microwave and then add the milk rather than using the double boiler.
  • Stir the peanuts and marshmallows into the chocolate mixture.
  • Spread the mixture into a 9x13 inch dish lined with wax paper. I use a second sheet of wax paper to flatten the mixture. Spray the paper with cooking spray if you want.
  • Chill, covered, for 2 hours or until set. Cut into squares.
  • Notes: The hardest part of this recipe is cutting it after it chills. I remove the entire chunk from the pan using the wax paper, and cut it on a cutting board with a butcher knife.
  • The actual recipe says to store at room temperature in a covered dish. I always keep it in the fridge, however, because I think it's better chilled.

1 cup peanut butter
4 cups miniature marshmallows

Tips:

  • To achieve a smooth and creamy fudge, use high-quality chocolate and condensed milk. Cheap or low-quality chocolate can result in a grainy or gritty texture.
  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy fudge.
  • Don't overmix the fudge after adding the chocolate chips, nuts, and marshmallows. Overmixing can cause the fudge to become tough and crumbly.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the doneness of the fudge by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball that holds its shape, it is done.
  • To store the fudge, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in an airtight container. The fudge can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.

Conclusion:

Rocky road fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make no-bake treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, gooey marshmallow texture, and crunchy nuts, this fudge is sure to be a hit with everyone.
