ROCKY ROAD CANDY JEANNE'S WAY



Rocky Road Candy Jeanne's Way image

When I was young my mother shopped at a grocery store that had a candy shop connected to it. Every time I was at the shop I looked at everything they had but always ended up in front of the Rocky Road? To this day the only candy that I can remember being in the shop is the Rocky Road. And what's not to forget? You have milk...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 10oz. bag(s) marshmallows regular size
3 11.5 oz. bag(s) ghirardelli milk chocolate chips
2 - 3 c coarsely chopped walnuts, your preference

Steps:

  • 1. Open bags of Marshmallows and place in large bowl.
  • 2. Butter well, a 9" by 13" pan.
  • 3. Open all bags of Milk Chocolate and place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave 1 minute at 50% power 3 to 4 times while stirring each time until chocolate has melted. Watch carefully and do not overheat or burn. Note: if you want a very special Rocky Road (my favorite way to make this) then use Belgian Chocolate instead of the milk chocolate chips. I buy my Belgian chocolate from Trader Joe's and it is the large 1 pound bar of chocolate. I use 1 & 1/2 bars for a bag of marshmallows!
  • 4. Add chopped walnuts to marshmallows.
  • 5. Add all but about 1 cup of the chocolate to marshmallows and nuts.
  • 6. Blend until well incorporated!
  • 7. Pour mixture into buttered pan. Press mixture down as much as possible with large spoon or spatula.
  • 8. Use remaining chocolate on candy and ice top as you would a cake.
  • 9. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to set.
  • 10. Hints: Once candy sets it does not need to remain in the refrigerator and is easier to cut when it is at room temperature. If you give as a gift it is best to cut in hunks rather than pieces to stay fresh longer. This is not necessary if you give the whole recipe as a gift, which I do all the time. Freezes well!

ROCKY ROAD CANDY

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.

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 good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Don't overcook the sugar syrup. It should reach a temperature of 250°F (121°C) on a candy thermometer.
  • Add the nuts and marshmallows to the chocolate mixture as soon as it is removed from the heat. This will help to prevent the chocolate from hardening too quickly.
  • Pour the mixture into a prepared pan and let it cool completely before cutting it into pieces.
  • Store the rocky road candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Rocky road candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of chocolate, nuts, and marshmallows, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give rocky road candy a try. You won't be disappointed!
