Rocky Road

If I was going to be stranded on a desert island, and could take only one candy, Rocky Road would be my choice. I know that Rocky Road can mean different things to different people, depending on where you live, but for me it is white chunks of soft and spongy marshmallow together with crunchy peanuts, all enrobed in a silky smooth dark chocolate. 


Ingredients:
500 gr. unsweetened chocolate, chopped
200 gr. mini marshmallows
180 gr. pistachios and peanuts


Have ready a parchment lined baking sheet.
In a heatproof bowl, placed over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate.

Add the marshmallows and nuts to the tempered chocolate and stir just until they are completely coated with chocolate. 

Do this quickly and stir as little as possible as the chocolate sets very fast. Immediately spread the rocky road on a parchment lined baking sheet. 

Let the Rocky Road sit at room temperature until firm and then cut into pieces. Or, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator until the Rocky Road is firm.
