What is Rocky Road Candy?

Rocky Road Chocolate Candy is a classic, no-bake treat. It is made with a base of melted chocolate and an assortment of mix-ins.

A typical Rocky Road will contain marshmallows, gummies/lollies and sometimes nuts.

How to Make Easter Rocky Road

  1. Prepare all mix-ins by chopping into smaller pieces (if needed) and set aside. For this recipe, I only chopped the chocolate caramel and sandwich cookies for the mix-ins.
  2. Cut the milk chocolate bar into smaller chunks and add to a large mixing bowl (If you are using milk chocolate chips/chunks/discs, you can skip this step)
  3. Add the oil to the bowl with the chocolate
  4. Heat in the microwave for 30 second increments until melted (stirring in between)
  5. Chop the caramel milk chocolates then fold into the warm, melted chocolate (While this is a mix-in, it adds some additional chocolate to the milk chocolate base)
  6. Fold in the chopped vanilla creme cookies, Cadbury mini eggs and mini marshmallows
  7. Continue until all the mix-ins are coated in chocolate 
  8. Lightly grease a loaf pan with nonstick spray
  9. Transfer the mixture to the loaf pan
  10. Spread into an even layer then top with extra Cadbury mini eggs (and other decorations, if desired)
  11. Put in the freezer to set for 1 hour
  12. Remove from the pan and slice
  13. Enjoy!

Can I add other Easter Candy to this Rocky Road?

Pretty much any candy will work in this recipe! Just make sure the ratio of mix-ins to chocolate are the same and chopped into smaller pieces before folding into the melted chocolate.

What size loaf pan should I use?

I used an 8½” x 4½” loaf pan. A size similar to that will work great!

Do I have to grease the loaf pan with nonstick spray?

Yes, this ensures easy removal of the Easter Rocky Road once it has fully set in the fridge.

How do I know the chocolate is fully set?

The top should be shiny and if it has set in the freezer for at least 1 hour it is ready to be sliced.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
