Notes
The rocky road can be customized with different types of chocolate or add-ins like shredded coconut, mini pretzels, or toffee bits for extra texture and flavor.
Make sure to let the melted chocolate mixture cool slightly before adding the marshmallows to avoid melting them.
For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and dairy-free chocolate and marshmallows.
