Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cacao content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • To easily chop the nuts, place them in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely chopped.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup, as it can become hard and brittle.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  • Allow the rocky road bars to cool completely before cutting them into squares.

Conclusion:

Rocky road bars are a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With their combination of chocolate, nuts, and marshmallows, they are sure to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. Whether you are making them for a special occasion or just because, these bars are sure to be a hit.
