@@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness I'm thinking a bar themed version. A few nuts, pretzel sticks, and popcorn. And maybe a touch of hot sauce in the chocolate.
I tried this but used cayenne instead of cocoa, pork tenderloin instead of salted almonds, and onions instead of chocolate chips. But I kept the marshmallows. As a tribute to Chef John.
@Dagwood Dogwood we aren't about peeps here. That's a completely different discussion. There is nothing, however, like a toasted over an open fire marshmallow. I won't denigrate your preferred degree of doneness.
The next time I get pulled over, on my oath, I am going to proudly exclaim, "Chef John says that I am the highway patrol of my mixing bowl!". I don't see that getting me out of a ticket but the look on their face is certain to be priceless.
I got pulled over for speeding 5 years ago. First time ever.. Officer: "Ma'am do you know why I stopped you? Me: " Umm you thought my tires were doughnuts?😝😝😝 Here didn't have a sense of humor. 🤔🤪
Australian here - my mum used to use Maltesers (crunchy malty chocolate balls) instead of nuts. Also fruit flavoured chewy lollies (candy for Americans). Highly recommend. Great video as always!
my great grandmother used to make these, she called them chocolate squares, She added butterscotch chips and peanut butter to the chocolate mixture and always used multi-colored marshmallows and cocktail peanuts! I have so many memories of sitting at her kitchen table and she would bring out a tin of these from the freezer :)
That's not these. Yes, she called them 'chocolate squares' for a reason. Does that mean the chocolate was more fudgey? I mean, did she melt the butterscotch aand peanut butter into the chocolate?
Thank you for this recipe! I did this recipe tonight and it was awesome! I didn’t follow your recipe and I made it in the crockpot which came with some problems but my wife and I love it anyways. Two things I did differently: 1. Added slivered almonds and crushed walnuts. 2. Added junior mint candies when it was melting and it gave it a slight minty flavor. Thanks good sir!
The first mix of this episode was the most half-hearted mix I have yet seen on this channel, which is something considering how mellow the production quality of this channel is.
Thank you chef John... Something similar to this, (in Indian state of Kerala) is made from melted Jaggery+ butter; into which are added broken peanuts...locally called Kappalandi (Peanut) ~mittaayi (Jaggery candy)... which is displayed in transparent glass jars, matches chef's description of "rocky roads"😍
His "Peposo" is one of our favorite recipes by now. On Friday I will offer the Rocky Road after the Peposo together with a nice espresso to our guests.... But there will be a small addition: Some cayenne pepper. Chocolate and pepper/chili work together well...
Lol even I noticed that and came to the comments to see who else did.. but can't really blame him for eating 4.. well almost 5.. this stuff IS really addictive..
Coming from Australia usually there is jelly ( french jelly) or even Turkish delight pieces through out as well. Though the Turkish Delight addition is not common but is a nice change to the usual red jelly pieces.
I had a neighbour that used to make this with a graham cracker bottom and they were so delicious. Thank you Chef John for the memory reminder and the tips!!!! 🌲❤ MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL ❤🌲
I grew up on these except we didn’t use nuts. Just the chocolate chips, butter and multi coloured marshmallows. We had them at every birthday party in the 70s and 80s. Great memories! I still make them every Christmas!
I have a friend who used to make a yummy treat. She mixed together Chinese noodles, the salty crunchy kind, mixed them with marshmallows, some kind of nuts and raisins. She would place little mounds of this on wax paper and pour some melted chocolate over each mound. After they hardened, she would peel each one off. Simple but delish.
I make these with white chocolate, granola and raisins (here in Brasil we have sort of a chocolate bar candy called Talento, which comes with various combinations of chunks, like dark chocolate with hazelnuts, milk chocolate with castanhas-do-pará, dark chocolate with walnuts and raisins, and that one made with white chocolate mixed with granola and raisins is my favorite).
1. The "that's right" at the beginning of this sounded kinda demonic. Anyone else? 2. The "I don't stock that" - Chef John has cooking skills AND diplomacy skills!
My wife just went to Shortsville last weekend and said the roads were not rocky. And when I went to Canadaigua the roads were much smoother than Norwich.
I got worried for a second then, I saw some comments mentioning his twitter, saying not to look at it. Well I'm glad I did look, we agree on a lot more than just cooking. Please let the election come and let this nightmare be over....Please!!!
I can do this. I wonder if cashews and dried cranberries, or macademia nuts and white chocolate chunks would work (for relatives who are health conscious). Thank you, Chef John!
Yes! This is how I make brownies... I use peanuts, macadamias, cashews and walnuts as aggregate like you do in wet concrete with rocks... (with brownie Just as a binder) so good...
I felt the urge... so I made this. But I used milk chocolate, against John's wishes :) I absolutely hate dark chocolate. 2 Lindt milk chocolate bars, 3T butter, no added syrup or anything. They were quite good.
In the UK we add biscuit pieces (usually digestive biscuits which I hear are our version of a graham cracker) and sometimes raisins. I would also recommend malteasers or other round sweets. The version you made is very restrained if you ask me 😛
My mother made that but put a layer of cream cheese mixed with sugar and almond/vanilla flavor first in the pan, refrigerate it while making the chocolate/marshmallow/ nut layer. Then after the first layer has chilled the poured on the top layer.
The story of me making these: >Chocolate/syrup/butter mixture instantly seizes as soon as i try to blend >I do a second batch, since I misread the recipe and accidentally bought twice as much chocolate (2 wrongs do make a right?) >It goes better, doesn't seize >tastes heavenly >mixes the warm chocolate mixture with the marshmallows >instantly seizes, and the marshmallows melt >1/3 of the pan gets filled with semi-seized melted marshmallow/chocolate/almond goop. 7/10 best I've ever managed
This is the first rocky road recipe I've seen that doesn't have digestive biscuits in it. I'll have to give this version a try, it looks divine. Lee :0
Dark chocolate is supposed to have health benefits, as do nuts. Two healthy main ingredients cancel out the empty calories of the marshmallow, therefore this is good for you.
@@palaceofwisdom9448 okay hear me out... I already have all of the ingredients to make rocky road... Including the marshmallows... I wouldn't want them to feel left out... Maybe I would be doing them a favour by using them (this is soo not me trying to convince Myself...)
4:48 Nether am I. Being a Dane, my favourite sweet is actually real danish pastry. (Wienerbrød) It's the absolute perfect combination of butter flour and sugar. 🥰 Btw. Should you ever come to Denmark, business tourist or otherwise, please make the first thing you do, visiting a bakery and try out a couple of different pastries. Or even better, go to a cafe that serves pastry.👍
True .. have been making it for years .. and there you go ... true we are more simple in our desires .. chocolate marshmallow almonds ... that's it. We've always had Pascall marshmallows though, so pink and white has defn. been a thing in Aus.
Another related dessert is one my mother used to make. Church Windows are just chocolate and multi-colored mini marshmallows, rolled into a log and sliced.

Here I thought this was the story of Chef John’s crippling cayenne pepper addiction
Some cayenne would have given the Rocky Road a different perspective...
When he began to dust with cocoa, for a brief moment I thought it was cayenne.
I'm surprised he didn't put a touch of it in here. He does in his hot chocolate recipe.
It's not an addiction...it's now classified as a disease. ;)
Underrated comment
We use bits of short bread / biscuits (UK) instead of nuts and they taste just as delicious with a nice little texture variance.
Would work fine for me.
I'm not a big nuts guy so if I make this I might do this or use pretzels
@@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness
I'm thinking a bar themed version.
A few nuts, pretzel sticks, and popcorn. And maybe a touch of hot sauce in the chocolate.
You need to get the digestives in there
That sounds so good too

Whhhaaaatt??..tell us more.🤔🤥🤓
I used Knorr stockpots, its your choice
He basically added sugar ( marshmellows) to the cooking juices. Sweet onion sauce basically.
I've found that any time a recipe starts with a bowl full of chocolate chips, I'm going to enjoy it
i'd probably eat a bowl full of chocolate chips and butter.
Indeed! ... 💯👌😉
Great recipe and so simple! In Australia the Rocky Road also has desiccated coconut in it
Rocky road has always been my favorite ice cream flavor for all of my 64 years

My sister made something similar to this often when we lived at home. She called it "Chocolate Goop."
I love that stuff. Mom made it when I was a kid.
Doesn't goop imply that it's liquidy? Like at least a thick batter?
@@recoil53 No it wasn't. My sister melted chocolate chips and peanut butter together so it held together well.
Interesting that Chef John cut's it into 16 pieces and after stating that he's eaten two, there are only 12 on the platter. Just say'n.

Could one add a little, just a little cayenne to the dusting cacao ?
You certainly could. A little spice is supposed to go very well with chocolate. Or even mix it into the melted chocolate.
