Gluten Free Rocky Road Fudge Food

GLUTEN-FREE ROCKY ROAD FUDGE

Steps:

• Line 8- or 9-inch square pan with foil so foil extends about 2 inches over sides of pan. Lightly spray foil with cooking spray.
• In large microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips uncovered on High 1 minute. Stir until melted. If necessary, microwave 10 to 20 seconds longer or until chocolate can be stirred smooth.
• Microwave frosting uncovered on High 20 seconds. Stir into melted chocolate chips. Add milk and vanilla; stir at least 20 strokes with spoon until smooth and creamy. Stir in marshmallows and walnuts. Spread in pan. Refrigerate about 3 hours or until firm.
• Remove fudge from pan by lifting foil; remove foil. Cut 8 rows by 8 rows to make squares. Store tightly covered in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

ROCKY ROAD FUDGE

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper to overhang the edges by an inch.
• Whisk the sugar and cocoa together in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the milk until smooth. Set the pot over medium heat, stirring to keep the mixture smooth, and bring to boil. Continue to boil, stirring the edges to keep from burning, until the mixture reaches 220 degrees F, about 60 seconds. (The mixture should be thick, smooth and glossy, not crystallized.) Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt, beating until smooth. Add the peanut butter and stir in, leaving pockets of peanut buttery goodness intact if desired. Let cool until warm but still stirrable, about 5 minutes. (You want the mixture to be soft enough that you can stir in the walnuts and marshmallows, but not so hot that the marshmallows melt entirely.)
• Stir in the marshmallows and walnuts. Spread the mixture in the prepared pan and add the flakey salt and sprinkles. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut into squares to serve. (To store, refrigerate in a covered container with parchment between the layers.)

Steps:

• Combine butter, evaporated milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a hard boil for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in the chocolate until melted and smooth. Fold in the almonds and marshmallows. Pour into an 8 by 8-inch square baking pan. Chill until firm, about 2 to 4 hours. Cut into 12 squares.

EASY, NO BAKE ROCKY ROAD FUDGE (ALSO GF)

Steps:

• Combine the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter in a double boiler. Cook over boiling water until blended, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. *I sometimes melt the chips and butter in the microwave and then add the milk rather than using the double boiler.
• Stir the peanuts and marshmallows into the chocolate mixture.
• Spread the mixture into a 9x13 inch dish lined with wax paper. I use a second sheet of wax paper to flatten the mixture. Spray the paper with cooking spray if you want.
• Chill, covered, for 2 hours or until set. Cut into squares.
• Notes: The hardest part of this recipe is cutting it after it chills. I remove the entire chunk from the pan using the wax paper, and cut it on a cutting board with a butcher knife.
• The actual recipe says to store at room temperature in a covered dish. I always keep it in the fridge, however, because I think it's better chilled.

ROCKY ROAD FUDGE (NO BAKE)

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup in a pan.
• Once it is fully melted and smooth, add in mini marshmallows.
• Take out a small portion of this chocolate and set aside.
• Bash the tea biscuits into bits with some chunks big and small.
• Take the chocolate mixture out of the heat and add in tea biscuits.
• Mix well and even out on a 9 inch square pan. (The pan size depends on how thick you want your fudge to be.).
• Cool for a few minutes and add the remaining chocolate mixture on top to give it a smooth finish.
• Add in toppings of your choice.
• Cool in a dry place for a few hours until it has hardened. You can also leave it in the fridge to lessen hardening time. (Note* if you put it in the fridge, tendency is that once it is out of the fridge, it will melt faster.).
• Once it is hardened, cut into 18 1-inch squares or into desired size and enjoy!
• Note* leave them in the fridge to avoid melting.
