Heaven in Your Mouth!

Be amazed, blogging world. I am posting a RECIPE on my blog. Who would've guessed that this day would come? (To my Knoxville friends...HAH!) Actually, I can't take any credit whatsoever for it. Caroline Herron posted it on her blog, I looked the recipe up online, and then made it. However, I did add some of my own interpretations to it, so I guess I can take some credit. Also, I can take credit for the fact that this actually tasted good...because I've been known to screw up some pretty simple recipes.

Rocky Road Fudge

Ingredients
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (I used Kroger brand because I'm a broke college student)
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (NESTLE will tell you to use their brand, once again, I used an off brand)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups miniature marshmallows

    **Now, the NESTLE recipe also calls for chopped walnuts. If you're a nutty person, then go for it. BUT, I hate nuts and chocolate together, so this just wasn't going to work for me.
    **Caroline's recipe called for butterscotch. Also, not for me.
    **So, what do I do? I opened my cabinet, found a bag of NESTLE white chocolate chips and voila! I used about 2/3 of a cup.
Directions
My iPhone camera doesn't do it justice :)
  • Line a 13 x 9 baking pan with foil...lightly grease the pan!
  • Microwave the chocolate chips (and white chocolate chips!) and sweetened condensed milk in a large, uncovered microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 1 minute. Stir :) 
  • If the chocolate chips keep some of their shape, then feel free to microwave for about 10-15 more seconds until the morsels are melted. 
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the marshmallows (and walnuts if you're that nutty person) 
  • Press the mixture into prepared baking pan. Refrigerate until ready to serve (I suggest 30-45 minutes- the consistency is thicker then). Cut and serve :)
    Beware of sticky aluminum foil :)
