A few weeks ago, my kids were asking for a quick and yummy treat. This fudge is something that my mom used to make every Christmas and I remembered how simple it is- no oven needed, just a microwave and some mad stirring skills! The kids loved being in on the action and helping with every step of the recipe.

4 Ingredient Rocky Road Fudge Recipe
This fudge is something that my mom used to make every Christmas and it couldn't be easier- no oven needed, just a microwave and some mad stirring skills!
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) bag milk chocolate chips (or semi-sweet works too!)
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1½ cups finely chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Line a large 9x13" baking pan with aluminum foil. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, pour in the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Cook in the microwave for about 60 seconds, remove and stir. Continue to microwave at 15 second intervals (stirring after each one) until the chocolate chips are completely melted and smooth.
- Fold in the marshmallows and nuts until they are fully incorporated.
- Press the fudge mixture into the baking pan and place in the fridge for about 60 minutes to let it set up (stick in the freezer if you want it to set up faster).
- When set, lift foil from pan and cut fudge into squares.

My mom used to make this every Christmas season as well, and now I love to make a batch (or two or three) of it for my own fam during the holidays! I am always so amazed at my cooking skillzzz when I make this because it NEVER fails! It helps that it only requires four ingredients :)

I agree with Sharon, I love your site.

how do you fit a 9x13 pan in your microwave and I thought aluminum foil in the microwave was a NO NO?

How did you know I love fudge and I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to it? :) This looks amazing!

We made this every year when I was growing up only it is also known as Rocky Road Candy. The chocolate does not have a fudge consistency (at least when I have made it). Dry roasted peanuts are the best in this (IMHO).

I love desserts with lots of chunky "stuff" in them. This one is perfect and would be so good paired with some hot vanilla milk. ~Cheryl http://snaps-of-ginger.blogspot.com/

tanks a lot for good recepi woooooow ilove chocolate

I have made this for years bit call it candy not fudge. I use dry roasted salted peanuts and don't chop them. The contrast of a little bit of salt and the sweetness of the chocolate is wonderful. My father-in-law used to wash the plastic disposable plate and bring it give to me with the reasoning that that way I could send him more. We re-used that throw away plate every Thanksgiving and Christmas for years. Wish he were still here and I would make more for him right this minute.

This is JUST the way I make fudge. Granted, I've never added nuts and marshmallows, since I'm a chocolate fudge purist, but I love the way this turns out perfect every time with chips and sweetened condensed milk. Thanks for sharing! I'm sure my husband would love this.
-
I just made this for Thanksgiving and boy was it a huge hit. SOOOOO yummy and simple. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to bring something sweet to a party or get together. Another hit from the sisters! Thanks

We always used the colored mini marshmallows and mom called it "stained glass" candy!! I have not had it in years!
-
Instead of nuts, add 4 broken up graham crackers (not crushed) and call it s'mores candy, Then you can have it year round. I have been making a batch a week for the last few weeks.

I'm having a major chocolate craving already--I might have to go to the store and the ingredients for this right n
-
I made this yesterday, I don't know what happen I did everything has directed but when I put in the fridge to set it is just staying liquidy, Is there a way to fix this ?
-
I think I know what happened, I bought just evaporated milk and not sweet condensed milk whoops. I will try again.
-
can wax paper be used in place of foil? This is my first go at fudge
-
This looks good! I'd like to try these someday... I just want to ask, how long will these last or how long is the shelf life?
-
Does the fudge need to stay refrigerated?
-
I made this today but it is very gooey and and hard to cut even after being in the freezer for many hours. Should it set quite hard? What have I done wrong! It tastes yummy though!
-
Did you accidently use Evaporated Milk ? Please use Sweetened Condensed Milk
-
-
Hi is there alternate to using non stick cooking spray. I avoid using it because of the toxic chemicals. Could I use butter?
-
Very simple and how I remember making it... with milk chocolate chips! Thank you!!
