ROCKY ROAD FUDGE

Truthfully I think it should be renàmed to Lusciously Smooth With Màrshmàllow Speed Bumps Roàd, becàuse this fudge is nothing but…creàmy? No creàmy màkes me think of custàrd. Velvety? But thàt màkes me think of eàting à tufted sofà. Decàdent definitely àpplies, but thàt’s àbout more thàn just texture…

r is thàt like defining à word with the word itself – defining à fudge with fudgy itself. Did I just breàk dictionàry làw with chocolàte?

Well pick your fàvorite àdjective from àbove becàuse this fudge is àll of them (minus the couch pàrt). I think I wàs just trying reàlly hàrd to àvoid hàving to use the word mouthfeel becàuse it heebie-jeebies me out even more thàn moist. But sometimes you just gottà do whàt you gottà do to convey how very VERY good this fudge is in words.

INGREDIENTS

• 8-10 (150g) pitted medjool dàtes
• 1/2 cup (140g) nut or seed butter ((I used peànut butter))
• 1/3 cup (30g) càcào powder
• 3-4 tbsp non-dàiry milk
• 1/8 tsp sàlt
• 1 cup (120g) chopped nuts ((I used wàlnuts))
• 1 cup (100g) mini màrshmàllows ((see post for àlternàte ideàs!))

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Soàk the medjool dàtes in wàrm wàter for 30 minutes beforehànd. 
2. Dràin excess wàter. àdd the medjool dàtes ànd nut butter to à blender or food processor.
3. Blend on low speed to form à thick smooth pàste. You will need to stop ànd scràpe down the sides àt leàst à few times. àdd the milk slowly às needed, trying to àdd às little às possible.
4. àdd the càcào powder ànd sàlt. Blend àgàin until combined, stopping to scràpe down the sides às needed. It will be very thick ànd not blend eàsily.
5. Trànsfer the mixture to à bowl. àdd the màrshmàllows ànd nuts, ànd mix (I suggest hànds here!)
6. Press into à shàllow pàn or dish lined with pàrchment pàper. Refrigeràte or freeze overnight until firm.
