How to make Perfect Rocky Road!

A great rocky road has 5 parts: a rich chocolate base and 4 textures: soft, chewy, crunchy, and crispy. Once you’ve got these, you can mix and match endlessly.

Sweet Chocolate – White, milk, dark, or any combo. A contrasting drizzle on top is always a good idea.
Soft texture – Marshmallows; use what ever colors or flavors you love.
Chewy tart bites – Think Turkish delight, gummies, jelly candy, dried fruit, or glacé cherries. Coconut too (shredded is best if using).
Crunchy – Nuts like almonds, salted peanuts, cashews, pecans, macadamias—or even candied nuts.
Crispy – Cookies, digestive biscuits, or similar. ** The crisp is optional, but adds great contrast.
