Holiday Giving: Homemade Rocky Road Candy

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces milk or dark chocolate chips use whichever you prefer
  • 3 cups mini-marshmallows
  • 1 cup roasted and salted peanuts

Instructions

  • Line an 8 x 8 (thicker) or a 9 x 13 (thinner) baking pan with parchment paper so that the paper overhangs the sides of the pan and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
  • Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. When the chocolate is just melted, remove the bowl from pan.
  • Stir the marshmallows and nuts into the melted chocolate. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it out to the edges. Use a sheet of parchment paper to help you flatten the mixture into an even layer.
  • Refrigerate the rocky road until firm. Lift the candy out of pan and place it on a cookie sheet. Cut into small squares.
  • The finished candy will keep in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
