Nothing quite beats Rocky Road for a simple, easy-to-make treat. Packed with crunchy biscuit, chewy marshmallow, juicy raisins and lashings of chocolate, it's pretty much impossible to go wrong, right?
Last weekend, I was thinking of twists on the classic Rocky Road (if you haven't tried it before, then you MUST make this Snickers Rocky Road), but then I decided to make it slightly more decadent, and even more delicious, by turning it into this Easy Rocky Road Fudge.
I can never be bothered to faff about with thermometers when I'm baking, so I love making easy fudge (love peanut butter? You MUST try this version!) with sweetened condensed milk - it's genius! All you need to do is bung your ingredients in the microwave, give it a quick stir, and you're done. Voila - tasty, delicious fudge in seconds.
This Easy Rocky Road Fudge turned out to be such a success that I'm planning on making even more this weekend, except perhaps with white chocolate and pistachios and cherries instead. Or maybe a Snickers twist...hmm.
Anyway, this is a perfect one to bake with the kids, if you need to keep them entertained over a drizzly winter's weekend.
