Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 12 ounces 70% dark chocolate
- 0.5 cup Low sodium milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Unsalted roasted almonds
- 0.5 cup Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 2 cups Low sodium marshmallows
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the unsalted butter and dark chocolate. Stir regularly until smooth and completely melted.
Slowly add the low sodium milk and continue to stir until the mixture is silky and combined. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Reserve about 1/4 cup of each nut variety for topping, and fold the remaining almonds and peanuts along with low sodium marshmallows into the chocolate mixture until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the top with the reserved nuts for decoration and gently press them into the surface.
Refrigerate the rocky road for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Once set, remove from the baking dish using the parchment overhang and cut into 16 squares.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
