The easiest Microwave Rocky Road Fudge! Make it in less than 5 minutes by melting condensed milk, chocolate and butter in the microwave, and then stirring through mini marshmallows, peanuts and Turkish Delight chunks... how easy is that!
Wow! This is my last Christmas recipe for 2015!!! I can't believe it. While it feels like I've been making Christmassy foods for months now, the big day has still somehow managed to sneak up on me. Does that happen to you too?
Well, my last little bit of Christmassy goodness is one of my go-to recipes. Yep, this Microwave Rocky Road Fudge with peanuts, mini marshmallows and Turkish Delight chunks is the perfect thing when you need a last minute gift in a hurry.
Unlike a lot of fudge recipes, there's no mucking around with glucose syrup or anything tricky like that. You literally just melt the milk chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and butter in the microwave. Stir through the yummy rocky road ingredients and mix together. Pour it into a prepared tin and then wait (very impatiently!) for it to set. Honestly, it doesn't get any simpler than that.
This makes a great foodie gift for friends or family. And because it's quite rich, a little goes a long, long way!
I always make about a zillion batches (or at least it feels that way) of rocky road at Christmas, so this fudge is the perfect change. It still has the same amazing rocky road flavours, but with a little bit of a difference. And really, who can resist a little slice of fudge??
My very last post for the year will be on the blog tomorrow - it's a collection of the 10 most popular recipes on the blog this year! I can't believe 2015 is nearly over!
Happy Christmas prepping! xx

I just made this and measured a 1/2 cup of peanuts but that weighed 80g so I used more because it wasn't equivalent to 210g? The marshmallows (1 1/2 cup) were equivalent to 90g. Is the recipe correct? Otherwise I am looking forward for it to set so I can taste!
Lucy says
My apologies! That was a typo! It wont matter if you've added more peanuts though!
Kimberly says
Taste amazing though was super hard to cut even with adding the coconut oul
Lucy says
Thank you!!! Rocky road can be a bit tricky to cut!!!

Can this fudge be frozen
Bake Play Smile says
Hi Sue, if you wrap it in greaseproof paper, then again in foil and then place it into an airtight container, it can be frozen. 🙂

Hmmm, not too late for a last-minute trip to the supermarket pre-Christmas. I may have to mix up a tray of this during the week, while I have extended family around to help me gobble it up! Looks gorgeous 🙂
