Instructions Checklist
  • Line an 8x8 inch pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.

  • In a large bowl, mix together marshmallows, pecans, crushed peppermint candies, and sprinkles.

  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add white chocolate, butter, corn syrup and salt. Place into microwave and cook at 50% power for about 1-2 minutes, stopping to stir every 30 seconds, until chocolate is melted.

  • Working quickly, mix in peppermint and vanilla extracts, then immediately pour white chocolate mixture over the marshmallow mixture, stirring to coat. Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle reserved crushed peppermint candies and holiday sprinkles over the top and gently press to adhere. Place pan into fridge for about 1 hr to allow candy to harden.

  • Remove pan from fridge. Use edges of parchment to lift rocky road out of the pan. Cut into 25 pieces. Keep extras stored in an air tight container.

Notes:

Make sure to work quickly after melting the chocolate, as it will begin to set almost immediately. I recommend using real white chocolate versus white chocolate baking chips. The chips have a tendency to seize up, and do not always melt smoothly. To help with cutting the rocky road, run a knife under hot water for several seconds, then wipe dry before cutting.
