    I was one poor college student.

    I even bounced a check for an 89 cent bagel. Pathetic, I know. My family still loves to tease me about the most expensive bagel in the world. I would go to the bookstore where they sold the best homemade chocolate fudge. I would save up my pennies in order to buy a small piece of rocky road fudge and would savor every single bite! To this day when I visit my college town, I always order the fudge.

    So let's combine two of the best desserts -- cookies and fudge into one.

    These Rocky Road Fudge Cookies are made with a rich chocolate cookie dough studded with semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted marshmallow, and walnuts.  These heavenly cookies literally melt in your mouth!

    You can make these Rocky Road cookies one of two ways -- add mini marshmallows to the dough or wrap each cookie around a large marshmallow. Most people have found better success with just using mini marshmallows.

    If you use large marshmallows, the key is to wrap the double chocolate cookie dough around a large marshmallow, completely covering it.  When baked, the marshmallow gets soft and melty in the middle. It is imperative to make the chocolate cookie dough balls large enough to wrap around the marshmallow. You want to ensure that the marshmallow is completely covered.

    The walnuts provide a perfect balance to compliment the sweetness of the rocky road fudge cookie. If you aren't a nut lover, leave them out. You will be left with a ooey, gooey chocolate marshmallow cookie that will rock your world.

      These cookies are really delicious, although when they came out of the oven, the marshmallows were sitting on top, very puffed but uncovered! Did I do something wrong? It looks as if I should have maybe used a few miniature marshmallows instead?

      These were pretty good, but I had to play with them just a bit. I added mini marshmellows instead, and the first batch came out too flat which baked the edges faster and turned them caramelized and very chewy. To keep them fatter, I put the rolled cookies in the freezer for about 5 minutes before I put them in the oven. The thicker the cookie was, the better the taste.
