Hi Bold Bakers!
Making Fudge has to be one of the most beautifully simple recipes. And as we know it doesn’t have to be complicated to be Big and Bold. Rocky Road Fudge Made in the Microwave is what Bigger Bolder Baking is all about. It’s a game-changing recipe made with simple techniques.
Since the start of Bigger Bolder Baking I have used a Panasonic Microwave. After seeing all of our creations online Panasonic and I partnered to develop even more microwave recipes. I am really excited about this partnership because mug meals are just the beginning of what recipes you can create from a microwave.
Panasonic gave me their new Microwave with Inverter Technology to make my new recipes. Just a bit of a break down on
Rocky Road Fudge Made in the Microwave


Ingredients
- 3 cups (18 oz/510 g) semisweet chocolate , chopped
- 1 can (14 fl oz/ 400 ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons (1 oz/28 g) butter
- 2 cups (6 oz/170 g) marshmallows
- ¾ cup (3 ¾ oz/106 g) roasted salted peanuts , roughly chopped
Instructions
- Butter and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the chopped chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
- Microwave for 1 minute and stir using a spatula. Continue heating in 30 second intervals until the chocolate has melted. Do not stir the fudge mix too much as it can cause it to separate.
- Once melted, add in the marshmallows and chopped peanuts and gently fold in.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top using a spatula.
- Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until the fudge is solid enough to cut into squares.
- Cut into small pieces and enjoy! Store at room temperature in an air-tight container for up to 5 days or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
If you use mini marshmallows, do you still need to still chop them?
Hii Gemma, I am not able to find the video for this recipe i ll be glad if u ll share the video for the same with me.. thank u.. ????????
Hi good day ! I love how simple the ingredient is. You said in your video you have 1200 Watts microwave. Mine is 1300 Watts so Watts the cooking time ? Is it a minute longer or shorter ? Thank you. 😉
Hi Gemma, my mom’s birthday is coming up so I wanted to treat her with this delicious fudge, but I don’t have any marshmallows. Can you please tell me where you get the marshmallows that u used. Also, those pictures look IRRESISTIBLE!
Hi Gemma, I like how your recipes are simple. I love fudge and cant wait to try making this. However, I only have semi sweet chocolate chips and would like to know if it can be used instead of the chopped chocolate pieces in this recipe. Thanks. Ann
I love this recipe. I use walnuts in place of peanuts – delicious!!
I made this for a church potluck today; it was quite the hit — thank you for sharing this recipe, it was so simple, that I was afraid it would not be eaten. This is now my go to recipe! Thank you again; I love your channel, your recipes, and the ease/simplicity of these recipes. Happy Christmas!
I dont have microwave … can i use oven or stem?
Can I leave out the marshmallows
Hi Gemma, your microwave recipes are my absolute favorite and I swear by them! But it would really help if you could include nutritional information such as calories per serving in this recipe and future recipes. Many thanks!
