Although this the race at Watkins Glen International is still months away, I thought a little sweet treat just before Easter would be a good thing.
Watkins Glen is one of two road courses on the Sprint Cup Schedule, what would be better to snack on during the race than some rocky road fudge?
This is one of those need-no-thermometer foolproof recipes, so it can be whipped up during the pre race show in no time.
I was a bit apprehensive before taking a bite – fudge is generally so sweet anyway, and I was afraid that the marshmallows would send this over the top. It actually lightened it up and made it all the more fabulous.
I am in love with the texture – the creaminess of the fudge, the sponginess from the marshmallows, the crunchiness of the walnuts. A trifecta.
Even with no race this weekend, this would make a great last minute treat, in case the Easter Bunny disappoints.
