How to Make Christmas Rocky Road Candy
Step One: Prepare the Almond Bark
- Place the butter, almond bark, and corn syrup in a medium pot and heat over low medium heat, stirring constantly until everything is melted. You can also use a double boiler for this step.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add the peppermint extract (or vanilla, if you don’t like peppermint). Stir and let the melted chocolate mixture sit at room temperature to cool slightly.
Step Two: Add the Mix-ins
- Combine the marshmallows, M&Ms, and macadamia nuts in a large bowl.
- Gently stir the melted almond bark into the candy and nut mixture.
Step Three: Pour and Set
- Pour the mix into a greased lined 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 square baking dish.
- Transfer the candy to the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours, or until set.
- Place on a cutting board and slice into small pieces. Serve and enjoy!
Tips and Suggestions
- You can use either salted or unsalted butter in this recipe. If using unsalted butter, you can add a little bit of salt to the melted almond bark before pouring it into the pan.
- Make sure to let the almond bark mixture cool a bit before combining it with the candy, so that you don’t melt the marshmallows.
Variations
- You can use any variety of nut you prefer in place of the macadamia nuts. Almonds, peanuts, or walnuts will all work.
- You can use any favorite holiday colored candy instead of M&Ms. You can also add some candy cane pieces, dried cranberries, or other dried fruit.
- Switch out the colors of the M&Ms for other holidays and enjoy this treat any time of the year.
- You can use a good quality chocolate in place of the almond bark. Either white, dark, or milk chocolate would work.
- Feel free to use the large marshmallows if you don’t have mini marshmallows. If using the larger marshmallows, you can use scissors to cut them in fourths to get the pieces just the right size.
How Do I Store Christmas Rocky Road Candy?
Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Can I Freeze It?
Yes! Place it in an airtight container or freezer bag and you can freeze this candy for up to 2 months. You’ll just need to thaw it before slicing.
What Size Should I Cut the Fudge Pieces?
These treats are very rich and sweet so a little goes a long way. I like to cut them into 1-inch square pieces.
