Description
This thick, creamy copycat Buc-ee's rocky road fudge is made with semi-sweet and milk chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, toasted pecans and mini marshmallows. It's easy, no-thermometer, and ready to chill in 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 12 oz
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 6 oz
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
- Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Let cool.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chips, milk chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and butter. Stir constantly until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Let the mixture cool for 5 to 7 minutes, until warm but not hot.
- Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and toasted pecans.
- Spread into the prepared pan and press flat. Press extra marshmallows and pecans into the top.

Notes
- Microwave option: Melt the chocolate, condensed milk and butter in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, then continue from step 4.
- Keep marshmallows whole: Always let the chocolate cool before folding them in.
- Swap the nuts: Walnuts or almonds work in place of pecans; leave them out for nut-free fudge.
- Storage: Airtight at room temperature up to 1 week, refrigerated 2 to 3 weeks, or frozen up to 3 months.
