Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (300 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups (100 grams) mini marshmallows
- 1 cup (125 grams) chopped walnuts or peanuts
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sweetened condensed milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Create a smooth chocolate base by gently melting chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until completely blended.
- Enhance the flavor profile by incorporating vanilla extract into the molten chocolate mixture, stirring thoroughly.
- Introduce texture and dimension by carefully folding mini marshmallows and chopped nuts into the chocolate, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the rich chocolate concoction into a parchment-lined 8×8 inch pan, using a spatula to spread the mixture uniformly and create an even surface.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the rocky road candy to set for approximately 2 hours, or until the mixture becomes firm and fully solidified.
- Once chilled and set, remove from refrigerator and slice into bite-sized squares using a sharp knife, creating clean, precise cuts.
- Serve the rocky road candy at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture, allowing the marshmallows and nuts to soften slightly.
Notes
- Microwave chocolate gently to prevent burning, stirring between each interval for smooth melting.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for richer, more decadent flavor and better texture.
- Allow mixture to cool slightly before adding marshmallows to prevent them from melting completely.
- Try different nut varieties like almonds, pecans, or pistachios for unique flavor profiles.
