Ingredients

For the Rocky Road Squares:

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup chopped graham crackers or digestive biscuits
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts or almonds
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easy to remove the squares later.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and light corn syrup or honey together, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes to slightly thicken.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Fold the mini marshmallows, chopped graham crackers (or digestive biscuits), and chopped walnuts (or almonds) into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated and well distributed.
  4. Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, press it down firmly to create an even layer.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm enough to cut. Once set, remove from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can substitute corn syrup with honey for a natural sweetener alternative.
  • Use your choice of nuts or omit for a nut-free version if desired.
  • Make sure not to overheat the chocolate mixture to avoid burning the chocolate.
  • Store the squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of orange extract.
