I started making a version of this rocky road fudge when I was probably about 10 years old. It’s basically like eating a Reese’s cup but with marshmallows. My mom had an employee who loved it so whenever I made it I made sure to get some to her.
For my mom, it’s something she makes every year. For me I make it on rare occasions. It’s quick, easy, and very difficult to mess up.

Ingredients
Butter– this helps makes sure the chocolate chips won’t burn.
Chocolate chips– you can use dark, semi- sweet, milk, or even chopped chocolate for this.
Butterscotch chips– these are what take some of the chocolate edge off and make the fudge creamier, you can also try using peanut butter chips.
Peanut butter– you can use creamy if you want, but crunchy peanut butter is what makes this rocky road fudge.
Marshmallows– these need to be mini marshmallows. They can be colored if you want.
