Tips:

  • To ensure the rocky road candies set properly, it is crucial to use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the sugar syrup.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it has reached the correct temperature.
  • To prevent the chocolate from seizing, temper it before adding it to the other ingredients. This can be done by slowly melting the chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring constantly.
  • To make the rocky road candies even more decadent, you can add a variety of mix-ins, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or mini marshmallows.
  • Rocky road candies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
