Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 3/4 cup chopped vegan marshmallows (such as Dandies)
- 1/4 cup salted peanuts
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Start by melting the vegan chocolate chips in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally until fully smooth and melted.
- Mix in Peanut Butter: Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Cool the Chocolate Mixture: Let the chocolate and peanut butter mixture cool at room temperature. This step is important to prevent the marshmallows from melting when mixed in.
- Add Marshmallows and Peanuts: Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, gently fold in the chopped vegan marshmallows and salted peanuts evenly.
- Prepare the Pan: Line a silicone loaf pan or a loaf pan with wax paper to prevent sticking.
- Pour and Set: Pour the rocky road mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow the bars to harden completely, which should take about 20 minutes to an hour.
- Slice and Serve: Once firm, remove the block from the pan and cut into bar-shaped squares. Enjoy your vegan rocky road bars as a delicious, indulgent snack!
Notes
