Notes
Rocky Road Fudge Recipe Tip
If you want to make your candy into clusters instead of bars, use a spring-form ice cream scooper to make round clusters from the mix. Drop this onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until it's hardened, usually at least an hour.
Why do they call it Rocky Road?
During the gold rush era in Australia, items delivered by ship, especially sweets, often arrived damaged, so the locals mixed them with nuts and chocolate. The road was named Rocky Road for the hardships the gold miners endured.
