World's Best AND Gooiest Rocky Road Fudge - 52 Cookie Recipes


OK, this one comes with a bit of an explanation.  Recently I was talking with friends and we were reminiscing about the HARD AS CONCRETE Fudge of our youths.  I haven't seen that version of fudge for years and frankly, as much as I like "Old School" recipes, if I had that one I would make that big red circle and slash mark through it.

The consensus around the table was that the softer and gooeier the better.

So, I was asked to make a plate of the gooiest possible fudge.  The request was for one that would look like fudge but had to be eaten with a spoon.

And here it is...

The trick was to add additional Sweetened Condensed Milk.

I decided on a Rocky Road Fudge to add the Walnut savory taste that would hopefully cut into the added sweetness.

And worked like a charm!  What you see in the photos was the aftermath of the initial serving.  The rest I popped back in the fridge and even after a three day chill, the gooieness of the recipe held firm.

Now, I'm not saying I would make this fudge over and over but it sure does come in handy when you have that friend that requests yu NOT make the hard fudge of his youth...

EnjoY!


 OK... Here's what I did...
