Rocky Road
Description
This Rocky Road recipe starts with melting together semisweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter to create a smooth and rich base. Chopped walnuts and peanuts add crunch and nutty flavor, while miniature marshmallows folded in last provide soft, chewy bursts contrasting the chocolate and nuts.
The mixture is poured into a lined pan and chilled for a couple of hours to firm. Once set, it is cut into squares for serving. The chocolate and peanut butter pairing lends a creamy, slightly salty complement to the sweet marshmallows and crunchy nuts.
Rocky Road works well as an easy dessert or sweet snack, particularly when you want something that requires no baking. It holds well refrigerated and can be stored for up to two weeks or frozen for longer storage.
Melting can be done either on the stovetop or in the microwave at reduced power. Cooling the chocolate mixture before folding in marshmallows ensures they keep their shape and texture rather than melting into the chocolate.
Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 cup walnuts chopped
- ½ cups peanut chopped
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 9 inch pan with parchment or foil.
- In a medium-sized pot over low heat, melt together the chocolate chips and peanut butter, mixing until smooth.
- Stir in walnuts and peanuts and remove from heat. Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes.* Fold in the marshmallows until coated.
- Spread mixture into the lined pan and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
- Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Notes
- Chocolate and peanut butter can be melted in the microwave on 60% power, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Let melted mixture cool slightly before folding in marshmallows to keep them intact.
- Store Rocky Road in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
