This rocky road candy is just the recipe you need!

With only 5 ingredients and a slow cooker you can have a delicious candy in no time flat.

I love making this candy with my kids because there is no double boiler needed to melt the chocolate and the kids can easily measure out all the ingredients, stir the mixture, spoon the chocolate on the parchment paper and sprinkle on the chopped peanuts and marshmallows on top.

The kids love eating these candies just as much as they do making them but I try to keep them from eating them all so we can package them up cute to give to their teachers at school for Christmas gifts!

Notes

Storage Note: Store leftover candy in an airtight food storage container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks to prevent the candy from melting.

Doubling Or Tripling The Recipe Note: This recipe may be doubled or tripled by simply increasing the ingredients accordingly and cooking in a large sized slow cooker. You may need to cook the chocolate and peanut mixture a little bit longer. But only until the chocolate is melted. Start with the 1 hour suggested cooking time and cook 10 to 20 minutes longer only if needed.
