Ingredients
For the Chocolate Base:
- 12 oz semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips (such as Enjoy Life or Hu Kitchen)
- 3/4 cup of vegan butter
- Pinch of salt
For the Mix-ins:
- Partake Crunchy Chocolate Chip cookies, crumbled
- Crushed pretzels (gluten-free, if preferred)
- 1 ½ cups of vegan marshmallows (like Dandies)
- 1 cup colorful candy melts (such as Wilton’s)
For Decorating:
- Gummy worms and candies (like YumEarth)
- Edible googly eyes (such as Wilton’s)
Instructions
- Prepare the Base:
- Line a square pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the vegan butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt together in the microwave.
- Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the Mix-ins:
- Stir in the crumbled Partake Crunchy Chocolate Chip cookies and crushed pretzels into the melted chocolate base.
- Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Add the vegan marshmallows and gently fold them in, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Prepare the Candy Melts: In a separate bowl, melt the colorful candy melts in the microwave using 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Rocky Road Bars:
- Pour the chocolate and mix-in mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Dollop the melted candy melts on top of the mixture.
- Use a spatula to swirl and distribute the candy melts throughout the rocky road base, creating a visually appealing pattern.
- Get Creative with Decorations:
- While the chocolate mixture is still wet, have fun decorating your Rocky Road Bars with gummy worms, colorful candies, and edible googly eyes.
-
Let your creativity run wild and create spooky, funny, or cute Halloween-themed designs on top of the bars.
- Chill and Enjoy:
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the bars chill until the chocolate is completely set. This will take a couple of hours.
- Once set, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the bars out of the pan.
- Place them on a cutting board and slice into individual bars.
