To create this mouthwatering Rocky Road Candy we start by melting chocolate in the crockpot to achieve a smooth and velvety consistency. Then, for an added crunch, toss in a medley of chopped nuts, pretzels and coconut.
Adding the marshmallows just at the end allows them to become soft and gooey, creating that signature Rocky Road texture.
Once the candy mixture has reached perfection, simply spoon dollops into muffin liners to cool and set. The result is bite-sized delights that have the classic Rocky Road flavor in each heavenly bite.
