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
Directions
Step 1
Prepare an 8x8-inch square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving excess hanging over the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well incorporated.
Step 4
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly (about 2 minutes) to avoid melting the marshmallows completely.
Step 5
Fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped almonds, ensuring they're evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Chill the rocky road candy in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Step 8
Once set, lift the candy out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.
Step 9
Cut into 12 equal pieces or desired sizes and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
