How to Make White Christmas Rocky Road
Melt the Chocolate: Begin by breaking the white chocolate into chunks and placing it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring well after each interval.
Add Butter for Extra Creaminess: Stir in the butter until fully combined with the melted chocolate—this step ensures your rocky road has that luscious texture everyone loves.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together mini marshmallows, mixed nuts, coconut flakes, and dried fruit. This colorful medley will add both flavor and texture to your rocky road.
Fold Chocolate Mixture Into Dry Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients. Gently fold everything together using a spatula until everything is evenly coated—be careful not to crush those fluffy marshmallows!
Transfer to Pan and Chill: Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal later. Spread your mixture evenly into the pan; smoothen it out with a spatula before placing it in the fridge for at least two hours to set.
