Rocky Road Candy Jeannes Way Recipes

Steps:

• Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with wax paper.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate and butter until melted. Stir occasionally until chocolate is smooth. Stir in condensed milk. Combine peanuts and marshmallows; stir into chocolate mixture. Pour into prepared pan and chill until firm. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• 1. Open bags of Marshmallows and place in large bowl.
• 2. Butter well, a 9" by 13" pan.
• 3. Open all bags of Milk Chocolate and place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave 1 minute at 50% power 3 to 4 times while stirring each time until chocolate has melted. Watch carefully and do not overheat or burn. Note: if you want a very special Rocky Road (my favorite way to make this) then use Belgian Chocolate instead of the milk chocolate chips. I buy my Belgian chocolate from Trader Joe's and it is the large 1 pound bar of chocolate. I use 1 & 1/2 bars for a bag of marshmallows!
• 4. Add chopped walnuts to marshmallows.
• 5. Add all but about 1 cup of the chocolate to marshmallows and nuts.
• 6. Blend until well incorporated!
• 7. Pour mixture into buttered pan. Press mixture down as much as possible with large spoon or spatula.
• 8. Use remaining chocolate on candy and ice top as you would a cake.
• 9. Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to set.
• 10. Hints: Once candy sets it does not need to remain in the refrigerator and is easier to cut when it is at room temperature. If you give as a gift it is best to cut in hunks rather than pieces to stay fresh longer. This is not necessary if you give the whole recipe as a gift, which I do all the time. Freezes well!
