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...

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.

My birthday which is today had many years of stained glass window candy as a gift. This reminds me of those gifts. Candy is a great gift.

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!

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!

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 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 ❤🌲

These look so delish!!! Thank you Chef John!

And here we have another delicious recipe from the great Chef John specially made for anyone with a sweet tooth! Thank you for uploading!

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).

I made it! It was so easy to make and came out really good! Thank you chef John! You’re awesome. 👌🏻🙏

I’ve made these a couple of times and they’re rapidly becoming a favorite.

We have all been on a rocky road this year. We need something yummy for stress relief.

Darryl Lee, probably the most famous brand of rocky road here in Australia, originally only made milk chocolate, they only started making dark chocolate years later. They also use peanuts. Home made, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, it frequently had red glacé cherries, but now days it tends to have jelly lollies like chopped up snakes or jelly babies. Pascal (brand) vanilla & strawberry flavoured marshmallows, are better, they’re much more flavourful and softer than the minis. Can’t say i’ve ever had it with vegemite in it, but you’re welcome to try it. 😂

this is interesting and looks amazing

Your delivery is outstanding.

Thank you

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 😛

Absolutely wonderful dessert 😋🌹

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

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
