Dark Chocolate Rocky Road Fudge

Hello, friends!   Long time, no see.   I interrupt this long hiatus to let you know that I'm still here and still cooking away, though with far fewer kids at home, a lot more gray hairs, and three houses removed from the DC area, where 99% of these recipes were posted from.  I don't eat sweets super often anymore, but here is a recipe I've been tweaking one batch at a time every Christmas over the last several years.  I think I *finally* got it perfect this year and I'm excited to share it with you all.   Who knows maybe I'll post again in another few years?!  Merry Christmas!

The ingredients:  

 

2 cups sugar
10 oz. evaporated milk

1/2 cup butter

13-14 -ounces  marshmallow fluff or creme

1 tsp. salt

2- tsp. vanilla

4 cups (2-10-oz packages) semi sweet chocolate chips (I like the Ghirardelli 60% bittersweet chocolate chips)

4-oz unsweetened baking chocolate

ROCKY ROAD

add 1 cup chopped walnuts and 2 cups mini marshmallows 

Directions:   Combine first 5 ingredients in a large saucepan.  

Stir over medium heat until well blended.   Bring to boil, stirring occasionally, but watching closely. Once fully boiling, turn the heat down to low, set the timer for 2-½ minutes,  and stir constantly.  

After 2-½ minutes, remove from heat, stir in chocolates and vanilla until chocolate is smooth and melted. 

After the chocolate is smooth and well incorporated, stir in walnuts and marshmallows until just combined. 

Pour into a parchment paper lined 9x13-inch pan and allow to cool.  Store covered. Enjoy!
