Recipe: Foolproof Dark Chocolate Fudge with 7 Variations

Hi Judy, I don't know if this is the recipe you're looking for, but it is from Eagle Brand. Rocky Road Fudge is listed as a variation. Hope this will help you! :-)

FOOLPROOF DARK CHOCOLATE FUDGE

3 pkgs (6 oz each) semisweet chocolate chips
1 (14 oz) can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk (fat free may be used)
1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

In a heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt the chips with the sweetened condensed milk and salt. Remove from heat; stir in nuts and vanilla.

(Microwave Instructions: In a 1 quart glas measure, combine chips with milk. Microwave on full power 3 minutes. Stir until chips are smooth and are melted. Stir in remaining ingredients.)

Spread evenly in a wax paper-lined 8 or 9 inch square pan. Chill 2 hours.

Turn fudge onto a cutting board, peel off waxed paper and cut into 2-inch squares. Store loosely at room temperature.
