Dark Chocolate Rocky Road Candy
Dark Chocolate Rocky Road Candy is an easy homemade candy recipe that comes together in minutes with only 4 ingredients!
Ingredients
- 12 ounces dark chocolate baking wafers or chocolate chips*
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil may be substituted with the same amount of neutral flavored oil or butter
- 2 cups homemade marshmallows, chopped substitute with store bought mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped roasted almonds or your favorite nuts
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt such as [Maldon]
Instructions
- Line an 8x8" baking dish with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
- Fill a sauté pan with 2 inches of water and heat over medium heat until simmering, then turn the heat down to low.
- Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a heat proof bowl and place the bowl in the simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the marshmallows and chopped nuts, then stir until well coated with the chocolate.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and allow to set uncovered in the fridge or room temperature for 1-2 hours. Once set, cut into bars and enjoy!
Notes
- *I normally use 12 ounces Guittard Bittersweet Baking Wafers for their meltability or an 11.5 ounce bag of Guittard Extra Dark Chocolate Chips. Dark chocolate may be substituted with semi-sweet, milk chocolate or a combination.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave instead of a double boiler! Place chocolate and coconut oil in a heat proof bowl and heat for 1 minute. Stir well, then heat for 30 second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Continue as directed.
- Homemade marshmallows really elevate this recipe, but store bought marshmallows work if you're pressed for time.
- The almonds may be replaced with your favorite nuts. Walnuts, peanuts, macadamia or hazelnuts are all great options.
- Rocky road candy keeps for 2-3 weeks stored in an air tight container in the fridge.
