Description

This Rocky Road Candy is a classic, no-bake treat made with rich chocolate, fluffy marshmallows, and crunchy nuts. It’s super easy to make and perfect for holidays, parties, or just when you’re craving something sweet!


Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or coconut oil)
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup roasted almonds (or walnuts, pecans)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate – In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. (Alternatively, use a double boiler.)
  2. Add Flavor & Crunch – Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Then fold in the marshmallows and almonds, making sure everything is evenly coated.
  3. Shape the Candy – Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture in and spread it out evenly.
  4. Chill & Set – Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until firm.
  5. Cut & Serve – Once set, cut into squares or break into chunks. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Nut-Free Option: Swap nuts for crushed graham crackers or pretzels for a crunch.
  • Extra Add-Ins: Try adding shredded coconut, toffee bits, or dried cherries for a twist.

 

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
