I’m partial to most chocolate based foods, and can never resist rocky road. I’m less fussed on fruit and nut based chocolate, but if I get to choose the fruit to add, it works. For me, that means cherry. Rocky road fudge was an obvious choice to try when making my easy microwave fudge.

What’s great about this rocky road fudge recipe, is being able to add whatever you want to it. So if you’ve got leftover sweets or chocolate biscuits, chop them up and add them. Got random dried fruit, throw it in.

The base is still sweetened condensed milk and chocolate. Then just add your flavour ingredients.

I stuck to the classic biscuits (digestive in my case, leftovers not needed for a cheesecake recipe, and a little bit stale), mini marshmallows, hazelnuts and glace cherries. You could add whatever nuts you have too, just cut them in half to make them easier to mix, chop and eat.

Only needing a couple of minutes in the microwave to melt the chocolate with the condensed milk, then stir in the dry ingredients, it makes this fudge so fast to make.

Then just 2 hours in the fridge in a lined baking tray or container and it’s ready for eating. Or cut it up and give it away in pretty tins or ribbon wrapped cellophane bags for gifts.

I usually have most of the ingredients in our larder, so this is a nice easy weekend make, great for children to help make.

How to make rocky road fudge

Ingredients

397g tin condensed milk
400g milk chocolate, broken into squares or chips
Mini marshmallows
Digestive biscuits, broken up into pieces
Glace cherries (or sultanas or dried cranberries)
Hazelnuts (or other nuts of choice), halved

To make

1, In a microwavable jug or bowl, microwave the chocolate and condensed milk on high in short bursts until the chocolate is melted and when mixed together it comes away from the sides.

2, Mix in the other ingredients

3, Pour or spoon into a baking/parchment paper lined 20x20cm baking tin

4, Refrigerate for 2 hours until fully set

5, Cut into small squares and eat. Store in the fridge

You can melt white chocolate and drizzle that over the top to make it prettier if giving it as presents, but it doesn’t really need extra topping.
