Fudge Time

Are you tired of stirring? Exhausted at the idea of timing your molten fudge only to have it not turn out? Well you are not alone. I even worked all summer in Estes Park at a Fudge factory and I can’t get mine to cooperate either! Do not quit! I have the easiest recipe on the planet to save us all from a Fudge like hell that so many of us find ourselves in each holiday season.

Here it is:

 

Fat and Sassy Rocky Road Fudge

1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 jar Maraschino cherries, drained & chopped
1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Place chocolate and butterscotch chips in a bowl and microwave on medium until melted. Add condensed milk and stir until chips and milk combined. Save the empty condensed milk can. Clean and remove label. Stir in vanilla, nuts, marshmallows and cherries.

Spray empty condensed milk can with cooking spray. Place it in the center of a greased 8 inch cake pan. Spoon fudge into pan around can. Chill until set. Place on platter, slice and garnish with more cherries, nuts and marshmallows!

Tip: Have fun with the mix-ins!
