Rocky Mountains

These little coconut-marshmallow mountains are the homemade version of a rocky road candy. They’re delicious, make a great gift, and forming them is just a matter of melting two different kinds of chocolate.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Melt the milk chocolate and 2 tsp of the vegetable oil together using a hot water bath or the microwave oven (see Note: Melting Chocolate). Stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from the water if you used a hot water bath and cool the chocolate to 95°F [35°C]. (Keep the water in the saucepan; you will use it again.) Add the almonds and marshmallows and stir until the mixture is smooth.

  3. 3

    Drop the chocolate mixture by rounded teaspoonful onto the prepared baking sheet. Form each candy into a peak shape by lightly pressing from the bottom up the sides. Refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until set.

  4. 4

    Melt the white chocolate chips and remaining 1 tsp oil together in the hot water bath (or microwave), stirring occasionally until the chocolate is smooth. Set aside and let cool for 5 minutes; it will melt the candies if it’s too hot.

  5. 5

    Remove the candies from the refrigerator and spoon the cooled melted white chocolate mixture over each mountain, allowing it to drip down like snow. Lightly press some of the shredded coconut on top of each candy. Refrigerate for an additional 5 minutes until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
