Hello there, Slow Cookerers!
I hope your week is going well.
So. This Saturday is Valentine's Day. ❤️
I don't expect much, but I do expect to eat chocolate. We are lucky in that we have a See's Candy factory very close by and as far as I'm concerned, Sees makes the best candy.
and I love their Rocky Road.
But. Not everybody lives near a Sees Candy.
It's okay. I've got your back. You can make your own Rocky Road.
It's not all that hard, and you get MAJOR BROWNIE POINTS for making it yourself.
Rocky Road Candy
makes approximately 24 pieces
1 (16-ounce)
bag of chocolate chips
1 (10-ounce) bag of mini marshmallows (don't dump in whole bag; eyeball it)
1 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
non stick foil or parchment paper
The Directions.
Use a 4-quart slow cooker. Pour the chocolate chips into your stoneware.
Cover and cook on high for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes or so.
While chocolate is melting, line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or nonstick foil.
When chocolate is all melty, stir in a bunch of marshmallows ---probably not the whole entire bag -- eyeball it. I used at least half a bag.
Mix with a big spoon and add
chopped walnuts (or whatever nuts you prefer).
Remove stoneware from heating element.
Use two spoons and drop mounds of chocolate-marshmallow-nut gooeyness onto the parchment paper or nonstick foil.
Place cookie sheets into the refrigerator to cool and harden.
Once cool, you can place the candy into those cute little
cellophane bags and tie with a pretty ribbon.
Or you can fill your robe pockets and go eat them all in the closet.
:-)
The Verdict.
I've made an awful lot of things in the crockpot these past 15 years, but making gooey chocolate candy ranks awfully high in my mind.
:-)
If you want to see ALL the recipes I made back in my Year of Slow Cooking, in order, here they are.
Happy Slow Cooking!!
Happy Almost Valentine's Day!!
