5-Minute Dark Chocolate Rocky Road
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

There's something about Easter time that conjures up thoughts of one of my favorite chocolate treats-rocky road. Was it all of those Rocky Road Easter Eggs in my Easter basket over the years?

This year, you can save yourself time (driving to the chocolatier) and money by whipping up a batch of homemade rocky road. One bag of high cacao chocolate chips, a bag of walnut pieces, half a bag of miniature marshmallows and a microwave is all you need. Get all of the food products on sale and the batch will only run you about $6.00!

5-Minute Dark Chocolate Rocky Road


Ingredients:
11 ounces 60% cacao semi sweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons canola oil
3 cups miniature marshmallows
1 1/2 cups walnut pieces

  1. Add chocolate chips and canola oil to medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat on HIGH for a minute. Stir to help melt remaining chocolate chips or heat on HIGH for 15-second intervals until chocolate is completely melted.

  2. Let cool about 5 minutes (meanwhile set up 12 muffin papers) on a flat surface or jellyroll pan.

  3. Stir the marshmallows and walnut pieces into the melted chocolate mixture. Portion the mixture evenly into the 12 muffins cups. Refrigerate until set (about 30 minutes). Share them with your friends and family!
