Ingredients
- 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butter
- 4 C sugar
- 1 1/2 C evaporated milk
- 20 large marshmallows or 5 cups of mini marshmallows
- 2 C walnuts chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 8 cups miniature marshmallows frozen
Instructions
- Place 8 cups miniature marshmallows on a baking sheet and freeze
- Mix together sugar, milk and 20 lg. marshmallows or 5 cups of mini marshmallows and boil for 6 minutes, stirring constantly
- Remove from heat and add chocolate chips and butter
- Stir until thick, add nuts and let sit awhile to thicken up a bit, add vanilla and frozen marshmallows
- If you are not adding nuts you may want more marshmallows
- Pour into greased 9 x 13 pan
Notes
- When making fudge, use a nice heavy pan. Fudge needs to boil for a while and in order for it not to burn on the bottom you need a heavy pan. I use my mother's old pressure cooker.
- If you want to make the fudge without nuts, add more frozen marshmallows.
- Do not skip freezing the marshmallows. Freezing them helps them hold their shape and not melt when mixed into the hot fudge.
- Rocky Road Fudge is rich and chocolatey so cut the pieces fairly small.
