Rocky Road Candy is the thing that all of my grown children beg for me to send to them for Christmas. It really is addictive Ha!

This is such a simple recipe it’s hard to believe that it is so rich and delicious.

In a large pot add the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and peanut butter.

Make sure you are using real semi-sweet chocolate chips. Those imitation ones may be ok for cookies but not for these. (Let’s face it, truthfully those imitation ones really aren’t good for anything.)

As for the peanut butter, you can use creamy or chunky. It really doesn’t matter.

Slowly, over low heat, melt those all together stirring often.

Do not try to rush this as it will mess up your chocolate.

When those are melted, take the pot off of the heat and mix in the peanuts and marshmallows. Do not do this while it is over the heat or you may find your marshmallows melting into the chocolate.

Spread the mixture of the sheet pan and pop it into the refrigerator to set.

Cut the Rocky Road Candy into about 1 inch pieces to serve. I usually put them into mini baking cups and place them into a covered tin or plastic container.

Well, there you have it!

My children will all be excited to finally see this recipe in writing so they will be able to make it at home now instead of waiting for me to send it.

This delicious candy is a Christmas tradition in my family. My Mother would make this Christmas candy every year. #christmas #christmascandy #christmasrecipes #christmastraditions
