CHEF JOHN'S ROCKY ROAD
I thought I was gonna show you how to make a famous candy, based on a famous ice cream, but as it turns out, it's actually the other way around. The ice cream flavor was inspired by an Australian candy that goes by the same name, which used the same signature ingredients--chocolate, marshmallows, and nuts. Regardless, this is super easy to make, and would be an absolutely wonderful edible gift for the upcoming holidays. Keep unused portions in the fridge.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the rocky road will be. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a smooth, rich flavor.
- Use a variety of nuts and dried fruits. This will give the rocky road a more interesting texture and flavor. Some good options include almonds, peanuts, walnuts, raisins, cranberries, and cherries.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. You can add other ingredients to the rocky road, such as marshmallows, toffee bits, or even bacon. Get creative and have fun!
- Chill the rocky road before cutting it. This will help it to set and make it easier to cut into bars.
