Ingredients

Chocolate Mixture

  • 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (optional, adds creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-Ins

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds – optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removing the rocky road bars easier.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: Place the semisweet chocolate chips and peanut butter (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
  3. Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture for added flavor.
  4. Combine with Mix-Ins: Fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped nuts carefully until the ingredients are well incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
  5. Spread Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to create a uniform layer.
  6. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the pan for about 30 minutes or until the rocky road mixture firms up and is set enough to cut.
  7. Cut and Serve: Once firm, cut the rocky road into 1-inch squares and serve chilled for a delightful treat.

Notes

  • You can omit the peanut butter if you prefer a pure chocolate flavor or if allergies are a concern.
  • Try different nuts such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts depending on your preference or availability.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For a nut-free version, simply omit the nuts and add extra marshmallows or dried fruit instead.
  • Use parchment paper to make removal effortless and cleanup easier.
