Description

These Rocky Road Drops are a delightful no-bake dessert that combines creamy milk chocolate with sweetened condensed milk for a rich, fudgy base. Folded in are fluffy miniature marshmallows, crunchy dry roasted peanuts, and plump raisins, creating a perfect balance of textures and flavors. Ideal for potlucks, holiday parties, or simply satisfying a sweet tooth, these treats are easy to make and require no oven time. They hold their shape well when chilled and make for impressive, homemade gifts. Enjoy them as a standalone snack or paired with a cup of coffee for a classic afternoon indulgence.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.
  2. Add the milk chocolate morsels and sweetened condensed milk to the top of the double boiler.
  3. Melt the chocolate and milk mixture over hot, not boiling, water, stirring frequently until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Remove the bowl from the heat source once the mixture is smooth.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the miniature marshmallows, dry roasted peanuts, and raisins.
  6. Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and stir gently until everything is evenly coated and incorporated.
  7. Line baking sheets with wax paper or parchment paper.
  8. Drop the mixture by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them slightly apart.
  9. Refrigerate the drops for 2 hours or until they are firm and set.

Note

Store loosely covered in a cool, dry place or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

For a nut-free version, substitute the peanuts with additional marshmallows or chocolate chips.

Ensure the water in the double boiler is simmering gently to prevent the chocolate from seizing or burning.

If the mixture becomes too thick to drop, you can microwave it for 10-15 seconds to loosen it slightly before shaping.
