Description

Rocky Road Candy is a nostalgic, no-bake treat made with chocolate, marshmallows, and nuts. It’s sweet, chewy, crunchy, and super easy to make. Loved for its fun texture and classic flavor, this dessert is perfect for holidays, parties, or simple everyday indulgence.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (510g) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (milk, dark, or white)

  • 2 cups (100g) mini marshmallows

  • 1 cup (120g) roasted nuts (almonds, walnuts, or peanuts), chopped

  • 1/2 cup (80g) dried fruit (optional – cherries, raisins, cranberries)

  • 1/2 cup (50g) crushed biscuits or graham crackers (optional)

  • 1/4 cup (20g) shredded coconut (optional)


Instructions

  • Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  • Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.

  • In a large bowl, mix marshmallows, nuts, and any optional ingredients.

  • Pour the melted chocolate over the mix. Stir well to coat everything.

  • Transfer the mixture into the pan. Spread it evenly and press down gently.

  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until set.

  • Once firm, remove from the pan and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Use dark chocolate for a less sweet version.

Skip nuts or use seeds for allergy-friendly candy.

Add candy bits or sprinkles for a fun twist.

Store in a cool place to prevent melting.
