How To Make Easter Rocky Road Candy

STEP 1: Heat butter, almond bark, and corn syrup in a medium pot over medium-low heat. Stir constantly until everything is melted.

STEP 2: Remove the pot from the heat. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and let cool slightly.

STEP 3: Add the marshmallows, M&Ms, and macadamia nuts to the mixture in the bowl. Gently stir to combine.

Pour the mix into a greased or lined 8×8 or 9×9 pan.

Sprinkle a few Easter sprinkles over the top.

Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set.

STEP 7: Slice and serve!

Can I Use A Microwave To Melt The Chocolate?

You can use a microwave to melt the chocolate, butter, and corn syrup. Do it in Twenty-second increments, stirring in between, until everything is melted and smooth. I like to melt and mix it on the stovetop. This way, I can keep stirring the ingredients and easily see when the desired consistency is reached. Plus, I think it helps the chocolate melt evenly and smoothly.

Variations

Use chocolate almond bark instead of white or both for a layered look. Note: for a white and milk chocolate layered look, pour your first layer (with add-ins) and let it fully set. You can stick it in the fridge to help it firm up before pouring the second layer on top.
Use a different nut. Swap out the macadamia nuts for peanuts or almonds. Note: If nuts are a concern, replace them with chopped dried fruit. Consider options like apricots, cherries, raisins, strawberries, or large coconut flakes.
Instead of M&Ms, use a different candy, like jelly beans or crushed malted chocolate eggs.
You can use any themed sprinkles for this candy. This pastel confetti blend is always a great idea. I also like this combination pack, which gives you six different options.

How To Cut The Rocky Road Candy

Cutting the chilled candy can be tricky. Using a warm knife becomes more manageable, which helps slice through all the loaded goodness. Choose your knife and run the blade under hot water. Dry it off, and then cut through the candy with ease.

Is This Rocky Road Candy Freezer Friendly?

Yes. You can freeze it for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before slicing.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
