ROCKY ROAD FUDGE
Steps:
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper to overhang the edges by an inch.
- Whisk the sugar and cocoa together in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the milk until smooth. Set the pot over medium heat, stirring to keep the mixture smooth, and bring to boil. Continue to boil, stirring the edges to keep from burning, until the mixture reaches 220 degrees F, about 60 seconds. (The mixture should be thick, smooth and glossy, not crystallized.) Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt, beating until smooth. Add the peanut butter and stir in, leaving pockets of peanut buttery goodness intact if desired. Let cool until warm but still stirrable, about 5 minutes. (You want the mixture to be soft enough that you can stir in the walnuts and marshmallows, but not so hot that the marshmallows melt entirely.)
- Stir in the marshmallows and walnuts. Spread the mixture in the prepared pan and add the flakey salt and sprinkles. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut into squares to serve. (To store, refrigerate in a covered container with parchment between the layers.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, baking powder, vanilla, 2 eggs and walnuts. Stir until well blended. Spread evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- For the next layer, in a medium bowl, beat the 6 ounces of cream cheese (reserve 2 ounces of the package of cream cheese for the next layer) with the 1/2 cup of sugar, egg, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/4 cup of butter. Mix until fluffy and smooth. Spread evenly over the first layer.

Tips
- Make sure your fudge is thick enough. The fudge should be thick enough to hold its shape when you cut it, but not so thick that it's difficult to stir.
- Don't overcook the fudge. Overcooked fudge will be hard and crumbly. Cook the fudge until it reaches the desired temperature, then remove it from the heat immediately.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help prevent the fudge from crumbling.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature. The fudge will keep for up to two weeks.
- Be sure to use fresh marshmallows. Stale marshmallows will not melt properly and will make the fudge grainy.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If the fudge forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- You can add other ingredients to your rocky road fudge, such as nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
