Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
- Microwave the chocolate mixture on high power for 1 minute, then remove and stir thoroughly to ensure even melting.
- Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and fully melted.
- Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
- Gently fold in the chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate mixture.
- Sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the top of the fudge, pressing them lightly into the surface.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the fudge for 2-3 hours or until completely set and firm.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the fudge out of the pan and place on a cutting board.
- Cut into 16 equal squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat edges.
- Store the rocky road fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
