Quick & Easy Rock Road Fudge Bars

This foolproof fudge is so simple to make and is downright delicious. The full recipe takes about 2 hours and 20 minutes, but those 2 hours are completely hands-off!

These fudge bars are perfect for Christmas goodie plates! In my household, we like to hand out these bars to our friends, family, and coworkers around the holidays.

These bars consist of only 5 simple ingredients:

About the Butterscotch Chips

For this recipe, I use Great Value Butterscotch Chips. I’ve used another well-known brand in the past, but they were off. Some reviews had mentioned that their recipe had changed and now their baked goods were turning green! Yikes!

How to Make Rocky Road Fudge

Over medium-low heat, melt together the peanut butter, butterscotch chips, and chocolate chips in a medium or large saucepan. This mixture should not be hot; we just want the chips blended with the peanut butter.

Once the mixture is silky smooth, add in your peanuts and miniature marshmallows.

Transfer the mixture to a greased 9 x 13 pan. Shortening, butter, or margarine can be used to grease the pan. Alternatively, parchment paper can be used to line the pan for easier removal of the fudge bars.

Spread the mixture evenly and pop the pan into the refrigerator for at least two hours.

Once the fudge has cooled, flip the pan over onto a cutting board and gently tap the bottom until the fudge releases. Cut the bars into 1-inch by 1-inch squares.

Why I Love This Recipe!

These fudge bars honestly remind me of scotcharoos! The peanut butter, chocolate, and butterscotch-y goodness is one flavor that brings me back to the good old days. Oh, the nostalgia!

Can you Freeze Rocky Road Fudge Bars?

I HIGHLY recommend storing them in the freezer! Pull the bars out of the freezer a few minutes before you want to eat them. Honestly, I think they taste 100 times better after being frozen. This gives the marshmallows a delightful, chewy texture, that I literally cannot get enough of!

This fudge can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days in an airtight container or in the freezer for up to three months.
