This tasty rocky road recipe is a favorite around here! The salty peanuts perfectly compliment the sweet marshmallows and chocolate. As a bonus, it is an easy recipe to put together, in fact the hardest part for me is cutting all of the squares the same size when it is ready to eat!! The kids love helping with this recipe, just be aware that it can get a bit sticky so it helps to have a damp towel nearby to wipe sticky hands on. We have it decorated for Valentine’s Day here, but you could decorate it for any holiday you would like or just have chocolate on it’s own.
