This Chocolate Cherry Pistachio Rocky Road Fudge is incredibly smooth, rich and chocolatey, bursting with lots of fluffy marshmallows, roasted and salted pistachios and tart plump dried cherries!

It’s pure Christmas Heaven and I literally made this fudge in less than 5-10 minutes with the help of  Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk, a microwave and an uncookie exchange!

UnCookie Exchange vs. Cookie Exchange

Today, I’m sharing a brainstorm of an idea of an Uncookie Exchange vs. Cookie Exchange! You know what a cookie exchange is, but an Uncookie Exchange is when you get together with your friends and family and exchange decadent bars and scrumptious fudge instead of cookies.

You know, I love, love, love to bake cookies.  BUT, during the crazy holidays, if you’ve ever participated in a cookie exchange, it can be seriously stressful, am I right?  You could end up spending hours upon hours baking away in the kitchen and screaming and pulling all your hair out by the time it’s all over!

Making this fudge makes life a whole lot easier and it only takes minutes to make!  You can even make batches of it if you need to!

Compared to cookies, bars and fudges are much more simpler to make, and even more delectable and fun to eat, especially when you use Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk in them!

Ingredients You Need

• Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk

How to Make Chocolate Pistachio Cherry Rocky Road Fudge

2. Stir to combine and heat another 15 seconds.
3. Stir and heat an additional 15 seconds.

8. Chill until ready to serve.
9. Slice into 1-inch squares and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Storing Fudge

• It’s important to keep it cool and stored in an airtight container to keep fudge fresh. With proper storage, fudge can last in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks.
