Rocky Road Candy

A quick and delicious no-bake dessert that combines chocolate, marshmallows, and peanuts for a sweet treat.

  • Total Time: 145 minutes
  • Yield: 24 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 and 1/2 cups roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips, butter, and condensed milk, stirring gently until smooth. Do not overheat or the chocolate can seize.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and salt.
  4. Fold in mini marshmallows and peanuts. Work quickly so the marshmallows stay puffy.
  5. Spread the mixture into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm. For faster set, chill 1 hour in the freezer.
  7. Lift out using parchment and cut into squares. Keep refrigerated for clean slices.

Notes

Use fresh mini marshmallows for soft texture. Substitute peanuts with crispy rice cereal or pretzels for a nut-free version.
