Rocky Road Candy In The Crockpot

It's fun and easy to make homemade rockyroad in the crockpot slow cooker. Rocky Road is pretty much my favorite candy, ever, and I like that this isn't waxy in any way -- the chocolate melts nice and evenly in the crockpot and tastes perfect!

Day 44.

psst. Tomorrow's Valentine's Day. I know, I can't believe it either. 

You still have time. Lots of time. 

In fact, you can make 4-5 whole entire batches of CrockPot Rocky Road Candy between now and tomorrow because it is so incredibly easy and it only takes 1 hour to do each batch.

Melting chocolate in the crockpot is fool-proof.

Unless you are truly a fool. 

Then you might be out of luck.

;-)

But for us ordinary folk who might be chocolate-melting impaired, nothing can beat melting chocolate in the crockpot.

The Ingredients:
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 Release 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.

Happy almost-Valentine's Day!

enjoy!! Happy Slow Cooking!!
