Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 150 grams mini marshmallows
- 120 grams chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving excess hanging over the sides for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly (about 2 minutes) to avoid melting the marshmallows completely.
Fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped almonds, ensuring they're evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Chill the rocky road candy in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, lift the candy out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Cut into 12 equal pieces or desired sizes and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
