Ingredients

2 c. semisweet chocolate chunks
1 tsp. refined coconut oil solid
1 c. mini marshmallows
1/2 c. roasted peanuts lightly salted or unsalted
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch flaky sea salt

Instructions

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chunks and coconut oil. Heat on HALF power for 1 minute, stir, and repeat if needed.
Mix the chocolate until smooth, then add marshmallows, peanuts, and vanilla. Stir to evenly coat, then drop onto a parchment or Silpat-lined baking sheet, paper-lined muffin tins, or a parchment-lined loaf pan.
Sprinkle with a pinch or two of sea salt. Place in the refrigerator and chill until set, about 20–30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

STORE Rocky Road Candy Cups leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If stacking pieces, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

For longer storage, place in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Let it thaw at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before eating to soften slightly.
