Ingredients
To prepare this no-bake Christmas dessert, only 4 items are required:
Maltesers -These little chocolates add crunchiness to the rocky road. Slice a few in half and use them to decorate the top.
Marshmallow - They add a silky, buttery sweetness to the rocky road, melting into a delightful sugary treat. I use regular-sized marshmallows in the mix and cut some smaller ones in half to top the dessert.
Chocolate - Any type works wonderfully in this rocky road recipe, though I prefer milk chocolate. For even more chocolatey goodness, explore my collection of chocolate recipes and discover delicious variations!
Butter - Optional - I prefer salted butter, as it balances the extra sweetness of the rocky road.
