Last winter one of my cousin’s came by to do holiday baking with me (she’s come by before – to make this history of civilization cake and this was her wedding cake – love having cousins close) and in addition to all my normal recipes she requested to make her mom’s Rocky Road fudge – I get a lot of great recipes from my Aunt Lynne.

Now I add about double the frozen mini marshmallows that my aunt does and less nuts – but that’s the great thing about cooking from scratch – that you can personalize it to fit your own style!

Now as you can see I highly recommend getting a candy thermometer! Personally I believe it makes a huge difference when making fudge. And they aren’t that pricey – so it’s not hard to get started!

So do you love fudge? What’s your favorite flavor? and do you have a favorite technique? do you swear by marshmallow creme, mini marshmallows or some other family favorite tried and true fudge recipes?

    Do you stir the milk & sugar as you bring it to just under the softball stage?

      TECHNICALLY your not supposed to stir when making candy but personally I always do – ESP when using stainless steel post- it would burn every time if I didn’t!

      I stirred the mixture & the fudge turned out fantastic!

      I appreciate your comments about temperature & adjusting it.

      Do you ever teach local classes?

      I used to teach locally! I haven’t in a few years, now I film pretty much all the time (I make FB videos for other food bloggers). And I’m so glad the temp tips helped!
