This Rocky Road Fudge is rich, chocolatey, and packed with mini marshmallows, crunchy nuts, and a hint of vanilla. It’s quick to make, no baking required, and perfect for gifting or serving at holiday gatherings.
Get prepped: Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Melt chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, and 2 tablespoons butter. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.
Add flavoring: Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Fold in mix-ins: Let mixture cool for 2-3 minutes so marshmallows don’t melt completely. Gently fold in 3.5 oz mini marshmallows and 3.5 oz pecans.
Chill: Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan. Top with extra marshmallows and pecans , press gently in. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy.
Notes
Let the chocolate cool slightly before adding marshmallows to keep them from melting.
Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture.
Line the pan with parchment for easy removal.
Cut fudge with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean edges.
For extra flair, drizzle with melted white chocolate before chilling.
Use a metal stirrer vs wood (wood can retain water, and cause your chocolate to seize)
