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.)

EASY, NO BAKE ROCKY ROAD FUDGE (ALSO GF)

Steps:

• Combine the chocolate chips, condensed milk, and butter in a double boiler. Cook over boiling water until blended, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. *I sometimes melt the chips and butter in the microwave and then add the milk rather than using the double boiler.
• Stir the peanuts and marshmallows into the chocolate mixture.
• Spread the mixture into a 9x13 inch dish lined with wax paper. I use a second sheet of wax paper to flatten the mixture. Spray the paper with cooking spray if you want.
• Chill, covered, for 2 hours or until set. Cut into squares.
• Notes: The hardest part of this recipe is cutting it after it chills. I remove the entire chunk from the pan using the wax paper, and cut it on a cutting board with a butcher knife.
• The actual recipe says to store at room temperature in a covered dish. I always keep it in the fridge, however, because I think it's better chilled.
