Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter plus more for pan
- 1 cup (150g) almonds roughly chopped Note 1
- 12 ounces (340g) semi-sweet chocolate broken into pieces Note 2
- 3 cups mini marshmallows divided
- 1 can (400g) sweetened condensed milk Note 3
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Equipment
- 8 x 11.5-inch baking dish
- skillet
- large heatproof bowl
- Saucepan
Instructions
- Line an 8×11.5 baking dish with aluminum foil and butter the bottom and sides of the pan.
- To toast almonds: In a skillet, toast the almonds for 3-4 minutes over medium low heat, stirring frequently. Roughly chop and set them aside.
- To make the fudge: In a large heatproof bowl, combine the butter, chocolate, 2 cups of marshmallows, condensed milk, vanilla extract and salt. Place it over simmering water (make sure the bottom of the pan doesn’t touch the water) and slowly melt everything until smooth, stirring frequently.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in remaining 1 cup of marshmallows and almonds.
- To set the fudge: Pour the fudge into the prepared pan and allow to set for at least 2 hours, or overnight to set.
- Once set, remove the fudge from the pan and cut it into 24 squares.
Notes
Note 1: You can swap the almonds with peanuts, pecans, or walnuts.
Note 2a: You may use 3 cups (340g) chocolate chips.
Note 2b: For an intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips. For a sweet and mild flavor, use milk chocolate.
Note 3: I recommend using name brand sweetened condensed milk, like Eagle or Carnation.
Storing Tips:
- Store the fudge in an airtight container lightly wrapped in parchment paper.
- If you store it at room temperature, it will last for 5 days. If you store it in the refrigerator, it should last up to two weeks!
- Rocky road fudge can be frozen for up to 3 months. Tightly wrap it in saran wrap, then place it into a freezer-safe container or bag.
- Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, before you bring it to room temperature.
