Time 1h15m

Yield about 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces cream cheese
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup toasted, chopped pecans
1 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
8 full graham crackers (1 sleeve), broken into chunks
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
One 16-ounce jar marshmallow creme, such as Marshmallow Fluff

Steps:

  • For the bars: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment so that the edges fold over the sides of the pan. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and butter to a medium pot and place over low heat. Cook, whisking occasionally so the bottom does not brown, until melted and well combined, a few minutes.
  • Put the pecans, walnuts, graham crackers and marshmallows in a bowl; set aside.
  • When the cream cheese mixture has melted, whisk until well combined, and then remove from the heat. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the graham cracker mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place in the fridge for 1 to 1 1/2 hours to set.
  • For the quick marshmallow frosting: In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter until creamy, a couple of minutes. Beat in the marshmallow creme.
  • Remove the set mixture from the pan. Cut into squares and frost with or dip in the marshmallow frosting. Keep refrigerated.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 to 1 cup coarsely chopped toasted walnuts, pecans, or peanuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
  • To make the first layer: Place the butter and chocolate in a small pan and cook over the lowest possible heat until almost all the chocolate has melted. Off heat, add the sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, nuts, and baking powder and mix well. Press into the prepared pan and set aside.

ROCKY ROAD CANDY



Rocky Road Candy image

Found this years ago in a magazine, I have added the coconut to it so if you are not keen on that ingredient just leave it out. In The Netherlands I have a hard time finding mini marshmallows so I cut up large ones. Chilling time not included.

Provided by PetsRus

Categories     Candy

Time 30m

Yield 24-30 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

16 ounces dark chocolate or 16 ounces milk chocolate, whatever you prefer.
3 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup walnuts or 1 cup pecans
1/2 cup desiccated coconut (dried, shredded)

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler.
  • Line an 8x8 tin with foil (you can butter one but this is easy to lift out and peel away).
  • In a large bowl mix the marshmallows, nuts and the coconut.
  • Add the melted chocolate, mix well.
  • Spread into the prepared tin.
  • Chill, when firm cut into small pieces.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Make sure the marshmallows are fresh and soft. If they are too old or stale, they will not melt properly.
  • If you don't have any nuts on hand, you can substitute another crunchy ingredient, such as chopped pretzels or toffee bits.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chocolate mixture. If it gets too hot, it will seize and become grainy.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper to make it easy to remove the candy bar once it has set.
  • Chill the candy bar for at least 2 hours before cutting it into bars. This will help it to set properly.

Conclusion:

Rocky road candy bar is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It is perfect for any occasion and can be customized to your liking. With its rich chocolate flavor, chewy marshmallows, and crunchy nuts, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat to make, give this rocky road candy bar recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
