Description

This festive Rocky Road Candy combines creamy melted white almond bark, buttery sweetness, and chewy pastel mini marshmallows with crunchy macadamia nuts and colorful Easter M&Ms. Topped with playful Easter sprinkles, this no-bake treat sets in the refrigerator to create a deliciously creamy and crunchy candy perfect for spring celebrations or anytime you crave a sweet indulgence.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound white almond bark
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 3 cups pastel mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup Easter M&Ms
  • 3/4 cup macadamia nuts
  • Easter sprinkles (for topping)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Melting Mixture: In a medium pot over medium-low heat, combine the butter, white almond bark, and corn syrup. Stir constantly to prevent burning and ensure the mixture melts smoothly and evenly.
  2. Remove from Heat and Cool Slightly: Once fully melted and blended, take the pot off the heat. Pour the hot mixture into a large mixing bowl and allow it to cool slightly for a few minutes so it’s warm but not hot enough to melt the add-ins.
  3. Add Mix-Ins: Add the pastel mini marshmallows, Easter M&Ms, and macadamia nuts to the bowl. Gently fold them into the white chocolate mixture with a spatula until all ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer to Pan: Grease or line an 8×8 or 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the Rocky Road mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly to the edges for a uniform thickness.
  5. Add Decorative Sprinkles: Sprinkle a few Easter sprinkles on top of the mixture to give a festive and colorful finish.
  6. Refrigerate to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the candy is firm and set completely.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, cut into squares or bars and serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for best freshness.

Notes

  • Use pastel mini marshmallows for a seasonal touch, but regular mini marshmallows work fine too.
  • Macadamia nuts add a rich crunch, but you can substitute with walnuts or pecans as preferred.
  • Ensure to stir constantly when melting to avoid burning the almond bark.
  • If you don’t have Easter M&Ms, any colorful candy-coated chocolate will work well.
  • Store the candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
  • Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding marshmallows and nuts to prevent them from melting.
