Categories     dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/3 cup salted peanuts
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
2 ounces good white chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Using a pencil, draw an 8 x 11-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper. Turn the parchment paper over so the pencil mark doesn't get onto the chocolate and place it on a sheet pan.
  • Place three-quarters of the bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof glass bowl and put it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. (Time it carefully.) Stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula, return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir again. Continue to heat and stir in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is just melted. Immediately stir in the remaining bittersweet chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth. (If you need to heat it a little more, place it in the microwave for another 15 seconds.)
  • Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it lightly to fill the drawn rectangle. Sprinkle the top evenly with the peanuts, chocolate chips and marshmallows. Press them lightly so they will set in the chocolate.
  • Place the white chocolate in a small, heatproof glass bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds. Stir with a rubber spatula and return to the microwave for 15 seconds, then stir again. Continue to heat and stir in 15-second intervals until the chocolate is just melted.
  • Using a spoon, drizzle the white chocolate onto the bark in straight lines.
  • Set aside for at least 3 hours until very firm. Cut or break the bark in 16 pieces and serve at room temperature.

Categories     Candy

Time 35m

Yield 24 pieces, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (12 ounce) packages guiddard chocolate chips (milk chocolate)
marshmallows, mini (one-16 oz. and one-8 oz. package)
almonds, 2 cups (although I was told the more the better so I added an extra 1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Roast almonds on cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
  • Cool Chop Stir Chop
  • Melt chocolate with oil (if you use a microwave, put chocolate in large bowl microwave on high for 2 minutes stir and cook one minute longer.)(chocolate should be smooth)
  • Mix all ingredients until blended.
  • Press into cookie sheet filled with foil or saran wrap.
  • Cool for several hours
  • Cut into pieces.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. You can use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or a combination of both.
  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you start cooking. This will help it cream together with the sugar more easily.
  • Do not overcook the sugar syrup. If you do, it will become too thick and hard.
  • Stir the nuts and marshmallows into the chocolate mixture as soon as you remove it from the heat. This will help prevent them from sticking together.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into a prepared pan and refrigerate until it is firm. This will take about 2 hours.
  • Once the candy is firm, cut it into pieces and serve.

Conclusion:

This almond rocky road candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking.
