The ingredients you need to make Rocky Road are pretty simple and you very likely already have them on hand!

I use a combination of chocolate, peanut butter, nuts, and marshmallows.

I usually choose pecans or walnuts but you can use whatever nuts you like best (or have on hand)!

You can use colored marshmallows instead of white, add raisins or dried cherries, chocolate chips or cereal bits.

Use your imagination and your family’s favorites to create a dessert square everyone will love!

Chocolate chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips keep this treat from being too sweet; dark chocolate chips can also be used. Peanut butter: Use either creamy or crunchy peanut butter. Nuts: Walnuts and peanuts add texture and flavor. Swap in almonds or pecans if you’d like. Mini marshmallows: These give a great texture and add sweetness. While I prefer the flavor with white marshmallows, you can use fruit-flavored marshmallows in place. How to Make Rocky Road
