Mint-Maple Walnut Rocky Road - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (8 ounce) packages finely chopped walnuts, or more to taste
    3 (16 ounce) packages semisweet chocolate chips
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    1 tablespoon maple-flavored extract
    1/2 (16 ounce) package marshmallows
    1 teaspoon peppermint extract, or more to taste
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread walnuts on a baking sheet.
    Toast walnuts until fragrant, about 6 minutes. Stir and continue toasting until browned, about 9 minutes more.
    Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until mostly melted, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter and maple-flavored extract.
    Grease an 8x14-inch baking pan. Pour in half of the chocolate mixture. Add marshmallows and half of the walnuts; press into the chocolate using a spatula.
    Mix peppermint extract into remaining chocolate mixture. Scrape into the baking pan and press in remaining walnuts. Press layers together using a spatula. Cool fudge to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
