Rich, creamy fudge loaded with nuts and marshmallows to make a traditional Rocky Road. Use packaged marshmallows or try making your own homemade Marshmallows.

Rocky Road Fudge

Ingredients:

Candy:

1/3 cup unsalted butter

1 cup evaporated milk

1½ cups granulated sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped (or 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips)

½ cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped

1 cup mini marshmallows

Tip: See Toasting Nuts and Seeds. Use standard measuring cups and spoons or scales for accurate measuring.

Directions:

1. Lightly butter one 8 inch square baking pan.
   
   
2. In a medium heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, evaporated milk, sugar, and salt; heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to boil.
   
   
3. Clip a candy thermometer to the inside of the pan, raise the heat to medium-high, and continue to boil, without stirring, until the sugar mixture reaches a temperature of 240 degrees F. Remove pan from heat and remove candy thermometer.
   
   
4. Add the chocolate to the hot mixture and stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well blended. Add walnuts and marshmallows, stir to mix.
   
   
5. Pour candy into the prepared baking pan. Let sit until cooled and candy is firm. Cut into squares.
   
   Tip: My favorite tool to cut fudge is a dough scraper; simply push the dough scraper straight down into the candy for straight cuts. Or use a pizza cutter or small kitchen knife to cut the candy into squares.
