FAQs

1. Can I use white chocolate instead of milk chocolate?

Yes! White chocolate will add a different but equally delicious flavor to the Rocky Road Delight.

2. Can I add other types of nuts?

Absolutely! Pecans, cashews, or macadamia nuts would be great alternatives to walnuts and almonds.

3. Can I use sweet chocolate chips instead of semisweet?

Yes, you can substitute sweet chocolate chips, but keep in mind that the sweetness level may increase, so you may want to adjust the condensed milk accordingly.

4. How do I know when it’s firm enough to cut?

After refrigerating for 2 hours, the mixture should be firm and set. If it’s still a little soft, let it sit in the fridge for a bit longer.

5. Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! These bars can be made a day or two ahead of time and stored in the fridge.

6. Can I add more marshmallows?

Definitely! If you like a gooey marshmallow texture, feel free to increase the number of marshmallows.

7. Can I make this in a bigger or smaller dish?

Yes, you can adjust the size of the baking dish, but keep in mind that a smaller dish will result in thicker squares, while a larger dish will create thinner squares. Adjust refrigeration time if needed.

8. Can I use a different type of milk for the condensed milk?

Sweetened condensed coconut milk is a great non-dairy option to replace regular condensed milk.

9. Can I add some dried fruit?

Sure! Dried cherries, cranberries, or raisins would be delicious in this recipe for a fruity twist.

10. How do I get the bars out of the pan easily?

Grease the pan lightly, or line it with parchment paper so that you can lift the bars out after they’ve set.
