How to Make Homemade Aloha Rocky Road Chocolate Candy
Homemade Rocky Road Candy is so simple to make. The beauty of this chocolate candy recipe, is that it's so versatile. My version is made with Belgian milk chocolate, macadamia nuts and plenty of marshmallow. Feel free to switch things up with dark chocolate, peanuts or pecans-- but don't leave out the marshmallows!
