Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to pull the rocky road out once set.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, roasted peanuts, dried cranberries, and dried chopped apricots.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly and pressing down gently with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set and firm.
Once set, remove the rocky road from the pan using the parchment overhang, and cut it into squares or bars for serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
