Merry Christmas!! A friend brought in this Christmasy candy the other day and it set me to searching for the recipe. It hits all those sweet spots– chocolate, nuts and those springy marshmallows. I think the grand-girls will love it!
I was surprised how super easy it is to make– takes 10 minutes max! The recipe is so simple, I could give to you over the phone! But here I’ll just write it out here:
ALMOND ROCKY ROAD
2 cups chocolate chips (12 oz.)
2 tab. butter
14 oz. can condensed milk
2 cups roasted almonds, chopped in half*
16 oz. bag mini marshmallows
In a large microwave proof bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter (about 90 seconds). Stir them all together until it’s all smooth. Pour in the condensed milk and mix until it’s all blended.
Then pour in the marshmallows and almonds and stir until they are all coated with the chocolate mixture.
Spoon it all into a 9″x 13″ pan that has been lined with waxed paper. Pop it into the fridge for a couple hours to harden and cut into delicious squares.
*The original recipe I worked from called for 2 1/2 cups peanuts, but I opted for almonds. Walnuts or pecans would be good too.
