8 oz/230 g ((1 and 1/3 cups) chopped bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate)
½ cup (1 stick/115 g) unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 and ½ cups miniature marshmallows ((if you only have large marshmallows, cut them into small pieces))

¾ cup (75 g) digestive biscuits or cookies (any kind)

Steps:

  • Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium heatproof bowl, combine chocolate and butter. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Heat more, at 20-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until melted. Stir in vanilla extract. Fold in marshmallows, nuts, and cookies.

ROCKY ROAD BARK

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 1 pound 6 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound 54-percent bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
4 ounces roasted, salted almonds, chopped
2 ounces marshmallow creme

Steps:

  • Place the chocolate in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse 25 to 30 times or until the chocolate is the consistency of coarse breadcrumbs.
  • Turn the food processor on and run for 1 minute until the chocolate becomes a mass. Stop the food processor and use a clean spatula to break up the mass, scraping the bottom and sides of the food processor. Leave the chocolate in the food processor for 1 minute without running or pulsing. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the processor after the 1-minute rest.
  • Complete all the steps in the previous paragraph, 3 to 4 times or until the chocolate is smooth, fluid and reaches 90 to 91 degrees F. Do not let the chocolate go above 94 degrees F. If the chocolate is close to but not at 90 degrees, briefly heat with a 10-second blast of warm heat from a hair dryer until it reaches the correct temperature.
  • Remove the food processor bowl from the base and the blade from the bowl. Continue scraping and stirring for 1 minute. Test the temper of the chocolate by spreading a small amount of chocolate in an even layer on a metal surface set over an ice pack. It should set within 3 minutes and be shiny and streak-free.
  • If the temper test has some streaks, continue scraping and stirring for another minute and test again. The chocolate should maintain a temperature between 88 and 91 degrees F.
  • As the chocolate begins to cool it will set on the sides of the food processor; as needed scrape down the sides of the bowl again and briefly heat with a 10-second blast of warm heat from a hair dryer until it is once again 91 degrees F.
  • Stir two-thirds of the almonds and marshmallow creme into the chocolate just to combine and pour onto a sheet of parchment or a silicone mat set on a half sheet pan inverted over cold packs. Top with the remaining third of the almonds and marshmallow creme. Cool until set, approximately 30 minutes.
  • Break into large pieces to serve. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

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 good quality chocolate: This will make a big difference in the taste of your candy.
  • Chop the nuts and marshmallows evenly: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the candy.
  • Don't overcook the sugar mixture: This will make the candy hard and brittle.
  • Let the candy cool completely before cutting it: This will help it set properly.
  • Store the candy in an airtight container in a cool, dry place: This will help it stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Rocky road candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a candy that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give rocky road candy a try. You won't be disappointed!
