    Rocky Road Candy Clusters

    Easy no-bake 5-ingredients rocky road clusters made with chocolate, butterscotch, walnuts, and marshmallows

    It's the busiest time of year and we all need quick and easy goodies to give away to neighbors and friends. Since time isn't on our side, easy no-bake candies are the perfect thing to make. These Rocky Road Candies are crazy simple and always a hit with everyone!

    These Rocky Road Clusters are made with semi-sweet chocolate, butterscotch chips, a touch of butter, marshmallows, and walnuts. The chocolate makes them creamy, the marshmallows makes them ooey-gooey, and the nuts give the right amount of crunch and balance out the sweetness.

    If you are a chocolate marshmallow fan, you will LOVE these 5-ingredients chocolate marshmallow walnut clusters. I love to give these away as gifts during the holiday season. Just throw them in a festive container and you have such an easy, crowd-pleasing chocolate candy.

    How to make Rocky Road Candy Clusters:

    1.  In a large microwave-safe bowl, stir together semisweet chocolate, butterscotch chips, and butter.  Cook in 20-second increments, stirring after every 20 seconds.  The butter helps the butter to melt evenly and create a silky smooth texture.
    2. Let cool slightly and then add marshmallows and walnuts. If you add the marshmallows while the chocolate is still hot, the marshmallows will melt.
    3. Line baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Scoop 2-Tablespoons mounds of the chocolate rocky road mixture onto lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
    4. Refrigerate until clusters are firm and chilled, about 30 minutes.

      I’ve made these three times now and have gotten many compliments. The addition of Chipotle Chili powder was a delicious one. These with the Chipotle were my favorite. I kept back enough to make 7-10 clusters and added 1 tsp of Chipotle powder. The heat isn’t over powering but more of a pleasant subtle one. Very nice. Thanks for the great and easy recipe.

      I just made these. They are cooling in the fridge. If the batter that I scraped off of the bowl is any indication, they will be superb. I wasn’t sure how thin the morsel/butter mixture should be, it still felt quite thick when I stirred in the marshmallows and pecans (didn’t have walnuts on hand). I didn’t wait long for the mixture to cool, so my marshmallows did melt a little. I think they’re going to be splendid. I got 29 using my 2tbsp scoop. Thanks for the lovely recipe!
