* Exported from MasterCook * Peanutty Rocky Road Recipe By : An Edible Christmas Cookbook by Irena Chalmers Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Chocolate Fruits Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 lb Milk chocolate -- - coarsely chopped 8 oz Large marshmallows -- quartered 1 c Unsalted roasted peanuts In a heatproof bowl over hot, not simmering water, heat the chocolate until almost completely melted. Remove from the water and let stand, stirring occasionally, until the residual heat melts the chocolate completely. Let the chocolate cool until tepid. Lightly butter a baking sheet. Stir the marshmallows and peanuts into the tepid chocolate. Stir a marshmallow into the chocolate as a temperature test. If it melts, the chocolate is still too warm; cool longer. If the chocolate stiffens, heat over hot water until the chocolate is softened. Spread onto the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, at least 4 hours. Cut into pieces. Store the rocky road at room temperature in an airtight container. Yield: 1-3/4 Pounds Posted by: Dave Prelip Formatted by: Cygnus (HCPM52C) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
